Railways faces heat over AC local trains, suspends 10 services after another commuter stir
Commuters on Wednesday staged an agitation against the Railways at Badlapur, a distant suburb of Mumbai, demanding restoration of non-air conditioned suburban trains as authorities announced suspension of 10 AC services introduced just last week from Thursday.
Introduction of AC services on the suburban section of the Central Railway (CR) has been facing resistance from a section of commuters. A group of commuters gathered at Badlapur station in Thane district at around 10.30 am and raised slogans demanding that AC suburban trains be replaced with non-air conditioned ones.
