Maharashtra: 22 year old woman dies after falling off train near Dombivli

A
22-year-old woman, on her way to work, died after she fell from a running local
train between Dombivli and Kopar stations on Monday morning.

The police
said Charmi Pasad, who was travelling on the footboard, lost balance due to
overcrowding in the compartment.

Pasad lived
with her two elder brothers and mother in Dombivli.

“Pasad, a
resident of Bhopar Gaon, Dombivli (East), fell off the running local around
9am. The victim was taken to Shastri Nagar Hospital in Dombivli, where she surrendered
to her major head and back injuries.

 An accidental death report has been
registered,” said a Government Railway Police (GRP) officer from Dombivli.

According to
the GRP police, Pasad had boarded a Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus
(CSMT)-bound fast local around 8.53am, from platform no. 5 of Dombivli railway
station.

According to
her brother, Pasad was a regular commuter and was on her way to office on
Monday. “She was working in the sales department of a private company in
Ghatkopar,” said Mehul Pasad, 35.

“I request
authorities to form a queue system for boarding and de-boarding locals.
Besides, there should be increase in the local services, especially the ladies
specials from Dombivli station, during peak hours, added Mehul.

Meanwhile,
local railway activists blamed the unfinished 5th and 6th line between Thane
and Diva for the increase in such accidents.
