Mumbai: A video has gone viral on social media showing women dangerously hanging off the footboard of a crowded local train. The incident occurred on Monday during the morning rush hour, when the Ladies Special local from Kalyan was delayed by 40 minutes.

Due to the long delay, the train was packed beyond capacity. In the viral Instagram video, several women can be seen struggling to board the train, with one woman barely hanging on the edge of the footboard. This risky situation has raised serious concerns about passenger safety, especially for working women who rely on local trains to commute daily.

A video shared on X by @mumbairailusers on Monday shows a woman risking her life by hanging out of a moving train. Passengers said that such delays are becoming more frequent, and overcrowding during peak hours makes it difficult to travel safely. Despite regular warnings from railway officials that footboard travel is unsafe, many commuters say they have no choice when trains are delayed or run irregularly.

Reacting to the video, railway authorities have taken note. The issue has been escalated to the concerned officials for urgent action. Twitter handles @DrmMumbaiCR and @RPFCR have been tagged to address the matter.

Travelling like this on local trains is dangerous. This incident is another reminder of the daily struggles faced by Mumbai’s train passengers. Safe and reliable public transport isn’t just a need, it’s a right.
