At least four killed, 6 injured after falling off moving train in Thane
The incident occurred between Diva and Kopar railway stations when the overcrowded train was going towards Kasara, an official said Press Trust of India Thane At least four passengers were killed and six injured after falling off a moving local train in Maharashtra's Thane district on Monday morning, police said. The incident occurred between Diva and Kopar railway stations when the overcrowded train was going towards Kasara, an official said. As there was a huge rush during the peak hour, many people were standing at the doors of the train, he said. While the train was in motion, at least 10 passengers fell down, the official said. A guard of another train, which was going towards Kasara, alerted the railway authorities about the incident, he said. All the passengers who fell were rushed to a civic-run hospital in Kalwa. Four of them were declared dead on arrival, the official said. The deceased were in the age group of 30 to 35 years, he said. Swapnil Nila, chief public relations officer of the Central Railway, earlier in the day told PTI that the guard of a Kasara-bound train reported about the injured passengers along the track side to the control room at around 9.30 am. The injured passengers were rushed to the nearby hospitals, he said. Nila had said it was not yet known from which train the passengers fell. Shiv Sena Lok Sabha member from Thane, Naresh Mhaske demanded a probe into the death of passengers. "The cause of the incident needs to be addressed. How did they there a crowd, were they pushed, was there a fight," he told a regional news channel. Mhaske said, "One can understand if it was a crowded local train. But in this case, the tragedy happened in a moving express train. The administration also needs to be alert." Leader of Opposition in the state legislative council Ambadas Danve in a post on X said the incident of so many people suddenly getting out of the Pushpak Express and resulting in the accident is heartbreaking and serious. This incident raises questions about railway safety in Mumbai, he said.

527 buildings in Navi Mumbai deemed dangerous; audit muct for 30-year-olds
The occupants have been advised to vacate such premises immediately, the release said Press Trust of India Thane As many as 527 buildings in Maharashtra's Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) limits have been identified as "dangerous" during a survey for 2024-25, the civic body has said. It is mandatory for buildings in use for more than 30 years to undergo a structural audit by a civil or structural engineer registered with the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation, the NMMC said in a release issued on Wednesday. "A survey of dangerous buildings under the municipal limits for the year 2024-25 has identified 527 buildings as dangerous" under provisions of the Maharashtra Municipal Corporation Act, it said. The occupants have been advised to vacate such premises immediately, the release said. The civic body has appealed to the residents, owners and institutions to get the structural audits of such buildings conducted and submit the report to the respective assistant civic commissioner or the assistant director of urban planning by September 30. The age of the building is to be determined from the date of initial occupancy, either full or partial. Following the structural audit, a certificate confirming that all necessary repairs recommended by the engineer have been completed and that the structure is safe must be submitted to the corporation, the release said. A fine of Rs 25,000 or the full annual property tax, whichever is higher, may be levied on those who fail to carry out the structural inspection, it said.
