In response to the Bandra Terminus stampede, the Mumbai Railway Pravasi Sangh, one of the oldest passenger associations in the city, has renewed its demand for time restrictions on season tickets and controlled access to stations and a formal complaint was filed on Monday.

"Mumbai rail accidents are rising day by day, indicating the need for urgent attention. The Mumbai local train and long-distance railway network is the busiest and most crowded among pan-Asian railway networks. Unfortunately, pending projects, decision-making without understanding root causes, and mismanagement lead to a high number of deaths on the tracks," said Siddhesh Desai, vice-president of the Mumbai Rail Pravasi Sangh.
