This video recording shows the stampede like situation during evening peak hours at Foot Over Bridges at Thane Railway Station. Since the FOBs and Stairs are too narrow they are absolutely incompatible to absorb the ever swelling sea of humanity.
We a group of Thane residents under the banner of Thane First Forum have sent a letter to GM of Central Railways along with Railway Minister Mamata Bannerji in December 2009 but failed to get any response from either of them.
Thane is a historical Station which had received first Train from the Victoria Terminus in 1853 and has developed multi folds during last 10 to 15 years but facilities there remain the same obsolete and non-existent.
If no concrete steps to widen these bridges are taken immediately we feel it can lead to a ghastly disaster any time.
