June 9, 2025 – A terrible accident happened on a Mumbai local train near Mumbra station in Thane, leaving many passengers hurt. It was Monday morning, during the busy rush hour, and the accident had made people very angry with the railways. The main problem? Too many people were packed into the train, and it caused a big mess.
What Happened?
The accident took place between Diva and Kopar stations, on a route many people use to get to work in Mumbai. The train was so full that some passengers were hanging onto the doors because there was no space inside. When the train took a sharp turn, some people fell off and got badly hurt. Sadly, a few people even died. Others were rushed to the hospital with serious injuries.
A railway official, Swapnil Dhanraj Nila, said the accident wasn’t because the trains crashed. Instead, it happened because too many people were squeezed into the trains, and some got caught between two passing trains. “The train was too crowded, and that’s why this happened,” he explained.
Why Are Trains So Crowded?
Mumbai’s local trains are like the city’s heartbeat, carrying millions of people every day. But there are too many passengers and not enough trains or space. During busy times, people are packed in like sardines, and some have to stand near open doors or hold onto the sides of the train. This is dangerous and has caused accidents like this one before. People are tired of it and want things to change.
Anil, a passenger who was on the train, shared his story: “There was no room to move. Everyone was pushing, and the train was going fast. I saw someone fall, and it was scary. This shouldn’t keep happening.”
People Are Upset
After the accident, the railway officials promised to add automatic doors to trains to stop people from falling out. But many commuters say this should have been done years ago. On social media, like X, people are sharing their anger, calling the accident a “tragedy that could have been stopped.” They’re upset that the railways haven’t fixed these problems sooner.
Why Does This Keep Happening?
Mumbai’s trains are old and not built for so many people. The tracks, stations, and trains need upgrades, but these changes take time and money. Many accidents happen because of overcrowding or because the trains don’t have modern safety features, like doors that close automatically. People are asking why the railways haven’t done more to keep them safe.
What Needs to Change?
This accident has made people demand fixes for Mumbai’s trains. Here are some ideas they’re talking about:
- Run more trains during busy hours so there��
- Add automatic doors to keep passengers safe.
- Build bigger stations and add more tracks.
- Teach people how to stay safe while traveling.
Priya, a safety expert, said, “This accident shows we need better trains and stations. People’s lives are at stake, and the railways must act fast.”
What’s Next?
The Mumbra accident has left Mumbai shaken. The injured are being treated, and officials are looking into what happened. But for the millions who ride these trains every day, the big question is: when will the railways make things safer? People are hoping this tragedy pushes the government to act quickly.
