Nalasopara: In a bid to manage the overwhelming footfall at Nalasopara railway station, the Railway Protection Force (RPF) and the Maharashtra Security Force (MSF) have launched a pilot "Crowd Management" initiative. Officials hope this move will eliminate the chaotic scramble to board trains during morning peak hours and instill a sense of discipline among commuters.
A Hub Under Pressure
Nalasopara is one of the busiest hubs on the Western Railway line. A recent population explosion in the city has put immense pressure on local train services. Every morning and evening, thousands of commuters swarm the platforms, often leading to dangerous situations.
The congestion at the station has led to several recurring issues. Commuters frequently try to force their way into coaches before arriving passengers can even deboard, This rush often sparks verbal spats, heated arguments, and physical altercations, Many passengers are forced to hang precariously from the footboards of overcrowded trains., Tragically, these dangerous travel conditions have resulted in passengers falling from moving trains and losing their lives.
