The Mumbai Rail Pravasi Sangh, which had raised red flags about the possibility of a tragedy due to overcrowding on trains, on Monday stated that injured commuters must receive immediate and full medical attention.

“We had consistently raised red flags about the deadly stretch between Diva and Kalwa, widely regarded as a death track. Despite multiple warnings and representations to the divisional railway manager, general manager, and even the Railway Board, no sustainable solution has been implemented,” Siddhesh Desai, a member of the Mumbai Rail Pravasi Sangh, who had been featured in a mid-day series on commuters’ woes titled Commute to Hell.
