A Mumbai woman shared her concerns about female commuters' safety on the city's suburban railway network after noticing no security personnel in a ladies coach after midnight. The incident unfolded between 11:30 pm and 12:30 am, according to her Instagram post. The woman, who was traveling alone, expressed concern about the empty coach and asked for help from police, but was advised to move to the men's compartment.
In the video, she can be seen speaking to a home guard and pointing out the lack of security in the empty ladies compartment. She also mentioned that security personnel sometimes disembark at Thakurli instead of accompanying the train to Kalyan. Upon reaching Kalyan station, female constables were present, and a constable was eventually arranged to accompany her.
The commuter criticized the practice of asking women traveling alone to shift to the men's compartment. She appealed to authorities to ensure safe late-night journeys for women and called out the authorities, including Mumbai Police, Central Railway, and RPF, for clarification on security arrangements. The claims made in the video could not be independently verified, and no official response was provided.
