A Mumbai local train commuter, standing on the footboard, was on Tuesday injured after debris and mud hit one of the suburban service following a landslide near Kasara station in Maharashtra, officials said.
The incident took place at around 9:15 pm, they said.
No services have been affected, said an official.
While initial reports stated that two commuters had been injured, Central Railway dismissed the claim, stating that only one commuter standing near the footboard had been injured, and that he was given first aid promptly.
“The train was just entering Kasara station`s platform no. 4 when the incident occurred, leading to mud and debris to enter into the train. One commuter sustained injuries to his feet. The deputy station master provided him with first aid. There have been no other repercussions. The track was declared safe by 9:35 pm,” Central Railway Chief Public Relations Officer Dr Swapnil Nila told mid-day.
