Mumbai: An inquiry is underway into the incident where passengers ended up at the Sanpada car shed while aboard an AC local, despite an announcement urging them to disembark. Central Railway is conducting the probe following the incident involving a local train that had left Panvel before completing its service at the car shed. An announcement had reportedly been made prior to the train's relocation, but some passengers remained unaware until the train had arrived at the destination.
The Mumbai Railway Passengers Association has called for a comprehensive investigation into the matter. Some passengers claim they were not adequately informed to disembark, while others on the platform stated that an announcement was indeed made. The inquiry aims to ascertain whether the announcement reached the passengers and whether the train was inspected before being moved to the car shed.
The incident has also underscored the importance of conducting a final check of every coach before a train is dispatched to a car shed. Railway officials have stated that the inquiry will determine any necessary modifications to the procedure for emptying rakes and examining coaches.
