Due to Central Railway administration's failure in resolving the issue of motormen working extra hours to make up for the huge number of vacancies in the department, more than 40 lakh commuters suffered on Friday.
As the motormen went on a strike, refusing to do overtime, 120 train services on the Main line and 80 on the Harbour and trans-harbour lines were cancelled. Crowds took to the tracks as trains lined up from Mumbai CST to Sandhurst Road station. While Divisional Railway Manager S K Jain said they had successful talks with the trade union members, Chief Public Relations Officer Sunil Udasi also confirmed that the matter had been amicably resolved. Central Railway Mazdoor Sangh (CRMS) president Rajendra Bhatnagar also said the chief operations manager and senior railway officials had assured to look into the matter and that it had been resolved.
