In a move to enhance commuter well-being, Central Railway Mumbai has set up 10 more dedicated Emergency Medical Rooms (EMR) at key suburban stations to save lives within the golden hour. These facilities aim to provide immediate medical aid during emergencies, reducing response times on crowded platforms.

Activist Samir Zaveri, who has been fighting for this, said, “This is excellent progress. Currently, only four stations on the Central Railway Mumbai Suburban section have operational emergency medical rooms. An additional 10 more stations will soon start these facilities to save more lives and generate Central Railway an annual license fee revenue of around Rs 40 lakh.”
