Angry commuters force their way into AC local in Dombivli after train is cancelled
Thane: A day after the Mumbra tragedy and after railways said they would introduce more AC and non-AC locals with closed doors, a number of angry passengers forcibly entered an AC local at 9.03 am at Dombivli railway station following the cancellation of their regular 8.59 am train.
Overcrowding of the AC train resulted in many passengers hanging onto the footboard, preventing the train from moving forward as the doors could not shut. Railway Protection Force (RPF) and railway police then stepped in and helped some passengers get inside and took some others off the train, thus allowing it to depart.In a video of the incident that went viral on Tuesday, the passengers who boarded the AC train looked visibly upset over the cancellation of their train and could be seen refusing to exit despite requests made by two RPF personnel.
Additional police personnel had to be called in to convince some of them to step off so the train could proceed. The train was halted for a few minutes because of the commuters' action, delaying services.
A railway official from Dombivli station stated, "Due to cancellation of a local train arriving from Kalyan at 8:59 am, passengers entered the AC train that arrived at 9:03 am." An eyewitness said passengers were upset that a day after the incident in Mumbra that claimed four lives, a local train was cancelled during morning peak hours.

Shiv Sena (UBT) functionary Dipesh Mhatre criticised Central Railway in a video posted on social media, stating, "Many lives were lost in the train accident, but the railway administration is still fast asleep. Every morning, while leaving home, everyone has one question on their minds — will our loved ones return? Only five months have gone by in 2025, and so far, nearly 100 passengers have died after falling off trains.

Zodiac signs that have a sharp memory
In astrology, certain zodiac signs are naturally inclined to observe details, retain facts, and remember even the smallest moments. Their memory is often shaped by their element (earth, water, air, fire) and ruling planet. While everyone has a different kind of memory, some signs are more likely to show strong mental retention. Virgo Virgo is known for its attention to detail and analytical nature. Ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication and intellect, Virgos often have a sharp and precise memory. They remember facts, dates, and conversations clearly, especially when it relates to work or organization. Scorpio Scorpios have a deep, emotional memory. They remember not just events but how those events made them feel. If something impacts them strongly, it stays in their memory forever. Their intuitive nature also helps them recall things that others may miss. Capricorn Capricorns are practical and grounded. They often have a long-term memory, especially when it comes to experiences, lessons, and goals. They remember what worked and what didn't, using that knowledge to plan better in the future. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Düsseldorf: GEERS sucht 700 Testhörer für Hörgeräte ohne Zuzahlung GEERS Undo Taurus Taurus tends to have a steady and lasting memory.
