Commuters onboard a CSMT-bound AC local train on Central Railway were trapped inside the train as the automatic doors did not open at Dadar station due to a snag on Tuesday morning. Passengers had to travel 5 km ahead till the next station at Byculla, which led to panic and confusion.

While the issue did not recur at the next station, passengers complained that railway officials did not come to check the issue. “While the Mumbai rains have kept us on our toes, this morning the 6.32-am AC local from Kalyan did not open its door at Dadar due to malfunction. Hope this won’t sound like an excuse to my boss. The late mark is because of Central Railway,” said Nabha Gaddamwar, a commuter, on social media.
