An AC local train from Virar to Churchgate suffered a technical glitch on Friday as one of the doors of the local remained open even as the train was running. Moreover, the air conditioning inside the local also was not working.
Several commuters took to Twitter to complain about the incident.
According to Western Railway CPRO Sumit Thakur , "there was alarm chain pulling at Mira Road at 9.02 hrs on Up slow line due to cooling issues of the AC local. Hence the said local had to be run with open doors. Subsequently the AC was attended to by concerned staff, and by the time the train reached Mahalaxmi all the doors were closed and AC too was functioning."
The Western Railway announced that several AC local trains will be converted to non AC for today.
"Due to a problem in the motor of AC local rakes, some services have been converted to Non AC," a Western Railway official said.
