Providing relief to elderly people travelling in local trains, the Bombay High Court today directed the Western and Central Railways to reserve 14 seats exclusively for senior citizens in every suburban train by April 15.

The court also directed the railway authorities to ensure that these reserved seats are utilised by senior citizens only. Though at present there are some seats kept in the local trains for senior citizens, they are reserved only for some time in a day and that too during the non-rush hour.
