Mumbai is a city which is close to everyone. People says that the city dissolve in everyone. Adjustment in this city is the remedy for every situation. Everyone feels that experiencing Mumbai is fun. The major part of Mumbai and what makes it work is the life line of Mumbai “local Trains”. People just can’t without local trains in Mumbai. But when this life line is collapsed everyone in the city becomes restless.
Since 3 days in Mumbai this life line is creating disturbance in people’s mind.It was the fifth straight day of delays on CR after major engineering work on Sunday for remodeling of Thane yard and commissioning of a new signal system. One of my friend said it took 2 hours for home to reach kalyan from mulund. The rush in local trains becomes double when such a major thing is happening. Lakhs of commuters were affected on Sunday as Central Railway officials began remodeling Thane station and overhauling its various mechanisms to make the nodal station fit for the next couple of decades. Lack of information given out to the public meant that thousands found out about train service disruption only after reaching the station.
While CR officials defended their effort, saying advertisements were placed in newspapers about the work, they agreed that new channels of communication would have to be found out the next time. The old diamond crossings (track alignments which allow a train to move from one track to another) with wooden sleepers in Thane will be replaced with new ones. The Route Relay Interlocking (a mechanism that gives trains its direction) will also be replaced entirely. We do know that the remodeling is for the betterment of the people itself but it has taken a worst scenario is last 3 days.
