A Sad Start to the Day
Mumbai, our busy city, faced a super sad moment on June 9, 2025, when five people lost their lives in a scary train accident near Mumbra station in Thane. The local trains, like the heartbeat of Mumbai, turned dangerous during the busy morning time, leaving everyone upset. As of 12:51 PM IST on Monday, June 9, 2025, helpers are working hard, families are crying, and India wants to know how to stop this from happening again.
What Went Wrong?
It happened around 9:30 AM on the Central Railway line, a big route from places like Kasara and Kalyan to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) in south Mumbai. A fast local train was super full—too many people inside! About 10 to 12 passengers fell off, some holding onto doors because there was no space. Five didn’t make it, and some got hit by another train, maybe the Pushpak Express, coming the other way. People saw a big mess—shouts, tears, and a scary scene on the tracks.
Railway police and kind locals rushed to help, taking hurt people to Shivaji Hospital and Thane Civil Hospital. Ambulances drove fast through traffic and a little rain to save them. Some are still very hurt. Trains slowed down or stopped, making travel tough while rescue teams worked.
Too Many People, Big Problem
Why did this happen? The big reason seems to be too many people! Mumbai’s local trains carry over 70 lakh folks every day, packed like a jampacked bus during busy hours, 9 to 11 AM. People hang on doors or stand on the edge—it’s risky! “The train was so full, then they fell,” a scared rider said. Maybe the train shook, or someone pushed, or a door didn’t work right. Railway and Thane police are checking everything to find out. For now, too many passengers look like the main trouble.
Mumbai Feels the Pain
Five people gone is so sad. Police are finding out who they were to tell their families. Maharashtra’s boss, Chief Minister Devendra Fadavis, wrote on X at 10:30 AM, “This loss from people falling off a train between Diva and Mumbra is very sad. I feel for the families.” He promised help, and hospitals are taking care of the hurt ones—some are fighting to get better.
The railway team made a big call: all new Mumbai trains will get auto-closing doors, and old ones will too. This could stop people from falling, a problem we’ve seen for years.
Everyone’s Upset
This tragedy on the tracks has made Mumbai mad and sad. Over 51,000 people have died on these trains in 20 years, says a 2024 report, from falls, crossing tracks, or station slips. On X, people shouted, “Mumbai trains aren’t safe—fix it!” Some asked PM Narendra Modi and Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav for help, wanting more trains, safer rides, and better stations for 70 lakh daily travelers.
What’s Next?
The June 9, 2025, Mumbai train disaster—five gone, others hurt—has left our city quiet and sad. As police and railway check what happened, India asks: how do we make trains safe? Auto doors are a good start, but we need more trains, stronger tracks, and better plans. Mumbai prays for the families and keeps going, hoping one day our tracks bring only travel, not tears.
