That Mumbai’s lifeline — the massive suburban railway network — is notorious for the tardiness of its train services is a no-brainer. But, you’d think the authorities would at least go by the clock when organising an awareness programme. The Western Railway’s (WR) railway safety awareness programme, scheduled to begin at Churchgate station at 11 am yesterday, was held up till 12.30 pm by the face of its anti-stunt drive – 17-year-old Alam Khan – and Deepak Devraj, DCP of Government Railway Police (WR).
