Mumbai: Continuous cancellations of two local trains at Mumbra station resulted in disruption earlier this morning. At the same time there was technical failure on tracks between Borivali and Dahisar, thus resulting in disruption in train movement.

The only saviour in both cases were that Gudi Padwa being a public holiday, it didn’t affect many commuters, which otherwise is seen on a regular Monday morning.

At around 8.45 am as crowds surged at the platforms waiting for trains to arrive, there were announcements of trains being cancelled especially those going towards Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST). Soon after people got angry over this issue and came down on the tracks to protest.

The Central Railway officials claimed that they started coming down on tracks and threatened to stop movement of trains. Soon after the RPF policemen came and calmed the situation asking the people to get back to the platforms.
