Enough is enough! Commuter organisations on Thursday announced that if the Maharashtra government does not yield to their demands for allowing public access to local trains, they will stage a protest at all railway stations with black bands. Officials, however, said that a decision on the issue is expected soon.
We have been filing appeals, day in and day out, people have been suffering in bus queues, but the government is not even discussing the subject, which is gross ignorance. Mumbaikars will not take this lying down and we will express the displeasure by wearing black bands,” said Madhu Kotian, president of Mumbai Rail Pravasi Sangh. Kotian said that he will discuss the plan with other city-based organisations and get support as it is now the “height of ignorance.”
