THE CENTRAL Railway (CR) of Mumbai Division announced the cancellation of 10 AC services introduced just last week from August 19 after opposition and protests from the passengers against the AC trains.
On August 19, the Central Railway started operating 10 more AC local trains on CSMT-Thane, Kalyan and Badlapur routes by replacing the existing non-AC local trains.
Since the addition of the AC local train service for the past three days, passengers from Badlapur have been protesting against it as they wanted non-AC local trains instead of AC.
Passengers have been gathering outside the Badlapur railway station manager’s office and shouting slogans demanding suspension of the AC local trains and resumption of non-AC trains. Following the protests, the CR on Wednesday decided to suspend the AC service.
