3rd Jan, 2006 PRESS NOTE HEAVY CROWDING IN MANGALA EXP On 3rd January, 2006, the Ratnagiri station received a message from the Passenger Assistant of Mangala Express train that the train is overcrowded and some passengers with general ticket have boarded in reserved compartments. The train arrived at Ratnagiri station at 0909 hrs and the RPF personnel detrained the unauthorized passengers and sent to General coach. Thus the train was detained at Ratnagiri station for 13 minutes. As soon as the train started off from the station, alarm chain was pulled by some passenger/s. When RPF inquired into this, about 20-25 persons ran away towards the fields. Out of these, 7 persons were arrested when they were trying to flee via Mumbai-Goa highway. They have been arrested under Railway Act and enquiry is under progress. Till now no complaint of robbery or molestation, as is being rumoured, has been received by Konkan Railway from any passenger on train. ---------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Goa - 2005 Santosh Trophy Champions | | | | Support Soccer Activities at the grassroots in our villages | | Vacationing in Goa this year-end - Carry and distribute Soccer Balls | --------------------------------------------------------------------------
