DYFI activists protested against the delay of trains on the Western Railway (WR) line near the Andheri, Mira Road and Vasai stations.
They demanded that railway officials and motormen resolve their issues as lakhs of commuters were being affected. After an inquiry by officials, motormen have been following speed limits, thus causing delays.
"Following a meeting convened by officials to investigate the issue of motormen speeding to make up for delays, motormen are now following the rules, thus causing delays," said Shailendra Kamble, who was protesting at Andheri station.
Several activists of the Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) protested against poor railway services and the delay of trains on the Western Railway (WR) line near the Andheri, Mira Road and Vasai stations .
The protesters demanded that the railway officials bury the hatchet with the motormen and end the rivalry that is causing delays on the WR line. Some of the other demands included the speeding up of Virar car shed construction.
"Last month, senior railway officials convened a meeting to investigate the issue of speed limits. Following this, the motormen, who would earlier make up for the delays by breaking the speed limits, started going by the rule book and following all the prescribed limits. This is clearly causing the delay and affecting commuters," said an agitated Shailendra Kamble, who was protesting at Andheri station.
