Virar-Vasai commuters stall train services, damage railway property
Corrupt central Government has been very frequently apprised of the bad services, and despite the track quadrupling, much of the time only two tracks are used. Usual train problems set passengers on a trail of destruction and vandalism at Nallasopara railway. Nallasopara Municipal Council President Umesh Naik said a crowd of around 100-150 protestors ransacked the office at 11 am. “They damaged windowpanes and a civic official’s car,” he said. Railway and police staff could do little to stop the protestors who blocked the tracks with cement slabs and rocks. At Virar, angry commuters then blocked the tracks of the 8.54 am Churchgate local and the 9.02 am Dadar local, refusing to budge. A few hundred protestors were on the tracks for hours, eyewitnesses said.
RN Sharma, professor and dean at the School of Social Sciences, Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) says the mob fury at the railway stations was a manifestation of their rage, a reaction that was an outlet for their frustration. “Day to day life is full of struggle and urban life has become hostile in metropolises like Mumbai. Tolerance limits are declining,” Sharma said. “People are just not willing to suffer any more.”
IMO: This is very understandable. In the West they are living in a different world, and the vile, worthless Western troughies can only expect scorn and condemnation from those of us who have to tolerate such conditions - often due to bad Western politicians acting 100% for their own good. I complained to a UK politician about murder attempted in Fulham, London four times in total - I was nearly killed - and so far have had no acceptable response. Many UK people deserve to be strung up.
