Central Railway (CR) authorities on Friday sought a detailed report on the agitation by a section of employees at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) a day earlier, which disrupted train services for nearly an hour and caused heavy overcrowding when operations resumed, news agency PTI reported.

Near Sandhurst Road Railway Station, around 7 pm, some time after services resumed, two persons died and three were injured after alighting from a crowded train and being hit by another train.
