Commuters fret as new Thane-Diva rail lines fail to address travel woes

The inauguration of two new railway lines between Thane and Diva stations in Mumbai has failed to ease travel for suburban rail commuters. Despite the potential to run up to 100 more local trains, only 36 new services have been introduced. Commuters are demanding that the railway authorities make better use of the new infrastructure. The delays in completing the project led to escalating costs, with ₹620 crore ($82.9 million) spent when it was ready in 2022. Railway officials have said there are no plans to add more suburban trains at present. | Mumbai news
