Have you ever wanted to take legal action against the railways for all the snags they make you suffer through? A Titwala resident has gone ahead with that feeling and is preparing to send a court notice to the Central Railway, asking them to explain the reason behind the consistently delayed trains, that have not only delayed him at work but have also led to his salary being cut.

The man who lost out on his salary and took CR to task is Shekhar Kapure, 59, who is a retired teacher. He is currently working for a labour union office in Currey Road. Kapure resides in Titwala with his wife and earns R6,000 per month. To earn this salary, he has to spend four hours commuting to and from his office, where he works for 10 hours. With his diabetes and his wife's ill health, it is already difficult for Kapure to manage their monthly expenses. To top it all, he had to suffer a cut in his salary because he kept getting late due to delayed trains.
