The problem started at 8 am when few Borivali trains were cancelled and the other Borivali trains were arriving on platform No 8.



The passengers were irate by the fact that Virar-bound locals coming on platform number 1, 2 and 3 were jam-packed. At least, 12 lakh people had been hit by the disruption.
