The death toll from the tragic incident during Monday morning's rush hour in Maharashtra's Thane has risen to four, officials reported, adding that 13 passengers fell from a moving local train between Mumbra and Diva stations. Nine injured individuals were admitted to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Hospital, Kalwa. These passengers were travelling from Kasara to CSTM, as stated in the release issued by the Thane Municipal Corporation. An eyewitness said, ”Due to the huge crowd in the local, some passengers were hanging from the doors of the coach. At the same time, the Pushpak Express going to Lucknow was passing alongside the local. The passengers standing at the door of the local fell after being hit by the Pushpak Express.” Seeing the passengers falling from the train, some people informed the RPF about the incident. After that, the injured passengers were taken to a hospital in Kalwa. A Diwa resident said, “They came to know about the accident after some videos surfaced on social media. In these videos, passengers were seen falling from the local train. These passengers were lifted from the track and brought to the platform. They had suffered serious injuries and their clothes were torn." Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Monday said the incident where passengers fell from a local train between Diva and Mumbra stations, resulting in some fatalities, is extremely unfortunate. “I offer my heartfelt condolences to the families. We share their grief. The injured have been immediately admitted to Shivaji Hospital and Thane General Hospital, where they are receiving treatment. The local administration is coordinating efforts. I pray to God that the injured recover quickly. The railway department has initiated an inquiry into what exactly caused this incident,” he said in his reaction. Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde said an investigation has been initiated by the railway authorities, and the exact cause of this unfortunate incident will soon come to light. “I am deeply distressed by the horrific accident that occurred near Mumbra railway station this morning. This is an extremely tragic incident. Thousands of passengers travel on this route every morning. I share in the grief of the families of the deceased. Instructions have been given to the hospitals in Thane and Kalwa to provide immediate and proper treatment to the injured, and I have personally spoken to the doctors as well.” Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar said the incident is unfortunate, adding that there is an urgent need to seriously look into the security of passengers travelling from the Mumbai suburban trains. He hoped that the railway administration would soon pay attention to this and take the necessary steps. Shiv Sena MP Naresh Mhaske said the administration should find out the reason behind this accident. "It appears that the incident happened due to the crowd. Did anyone push the passengers? It is necessary to get information about this.”
