In the first three months of 2022, 78 deaths have occurred in Kalyan railway station premises because of various accidents. Sixty five others have been injured in the same period.
Out of these, 16 railway commuters have died while 27 suffered injuries after falling from moving trains while 40 commuters have also died while trespassing near the Kalyan station premises.
The recent death of a 52-year-old man, Pradip Bhangale, at Kalyan station after falling through the gap between the train and the platform has again raised the concerns over precautionary measures taken to curb these railway accidents.
