Students block rail tracks in Mumbai, commuters hit hard
News Nation Bureau 20 March 2018, 12:27 PM
Lakhs of commuters faced hardships during the peak office hours today as hundreds of agitated students blocked the rail traffic, including suburban services between the busy Matunga and Dadar stations, over their demand for jobs in the Indian Railways. Around 400 to 500 students from several states, who have done the apprenticeship with the Indian Railways and want permanent jobs now, came out and sat on railway tracks at about 6.45 am. The disruption forced the Central Railway (CR) to stop the suburban as well as express train services on the affected section - between Matunga and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) in south Mumbai.
