00:17The Mumbai Lucknow Pushpuk expressed the horrific pictures on your screens at this point in time.
00:30Mishap between Mumbai and Deva Station.
01:00But then firstly, you can have a big problem of yourself.
01:04Uppayyajna Tsicou is an amazing answer.
01:06Now it's about two different questions.
01:08We have two questions.
01:17There are two important issues.
01:20The Upayyajna says, that is the same.
01:22It changes the same way.
01:24We need to compare with Western and Central.
01:27This is the western track and the central track.
01:31In the central track, we have 160 km of the area,
01:36and if we cover the sea line, then we cover 200 km of the area.
01:42This is the frequency of the train,
01:45then there is 1810 km of the train.
01:48In the track, there are curvatures, bridges, tunnels,
01:54and then there are.'"
01:59According to one of ourĐś

02:44At about 9.30am, there were ambulances at about 9.50am, now all the people have reached the hospital.
02:54The other thing is that all the people were traveling on the footboard, on the local trains.
03:14Mustafa Sheikh also, but this is a killer train mishap near Mumbai, where five passengers have been killed after falling off the Mumbai Lucknow.
03:24And Mustafa, Pushpak Express, I understand, but there is a clarification also coming in.
03:30Mustafa, if you could get us a clarification about this mishap.
03:33I understand that this was between Mumra and Diva station, but the Pushpak Express per se was not involved?
03:40Well, yes, Pushpak Express was passing by, but this incident has taken place on a local train, which was on the parallel track towards Pasara.
03:50And this train has reported that around 8 to 10 people fell off the footboard of the railway train.
03:59So, what the Central Railway PRO has clarified, and now it makes sense, that there was overcrowding in the local trains.
04:07Usually, when people travel towards office, there is such a crowd seen in the local trains of Mumbai.
04:15And hence, there was overcrowding due to which the crowd reached in the footboard of the local train.
04:23And there was so much crowd, something that had happened, or somebody pushed from inside.
04:29And there was around 8 people, that is what the CTR has said,
04:338 people who were on the footboard of the local train fell off on the track.
04:38So, there is these many number of people falling off the track is also based on the amount of crowd which was present in the local train.
04:47Now, the Board has decided that closed-door trains will be operated even in the local lines of Mumbai,
04:54so that these kinds of incidents don't take place.
04:58So, what we are, as of now, getting a clarification from the Central Railway is to expect
05:03that the passengers who were travelling on the local train, on the footboard of the local train,
05:07have fallen off, some people have suffered fatalities, some people have suffered injuries,
05:13and the trainwaves have now decided to only run slow-dose trains on the suburban rail directly.
05:18Alright, I am going to leave with that for the moment, Mustafa Ache.
05:20Getting in those details, 5 passengers have been killed, though 8 passengers fell off.
05:24These are pictures coming in from the Moombra station right now,
05:27where passengers, many of them, in fact 3 of them are hurt, 5 have been killed.
05:32The CPRO also giving out details of this horrific train mishap that has been reported near Mumbai yesterday.
