THANE: Commuters will not allow AC locals to operate if the railway administration doesn’t restore all the normal services on the Central Railway main line, NCP MLA Jitendra Awhad warned on Sunday.
Awhad was addressing commuters and representatives outside Mumbra railway station, Sunday afternoon, when he said running AC trains at the cost of the regular services will not be tolerated and also discussed problems faced by the common passenger from Kalwa and Mumbra.
“We will not allow the AC locals to operate as they were introduced by cancelling 21 regular services. Nearly 90% of passengers from Kalwa, Mumbra cannot afford AC trains and are forced to wait for the next crowded regular service. I want Kalwa and Mumbra commuters to unite and fight for your rights. I am not against AC trains but want them to be introduced as separate services and not at the cost of regular trips,” said Awhad while addressing the commuters.
