Every aspect related to railway services should be continuously improved,” he tweeted. Kovind had earlier expressed his condolences soon after the rail station tragedy on 29 September. “Anguished by the loss of lives in the stampede in Mumbai. Condolences to the bereaved families; prayers with injured,” he had tweeted. Twenty-three people died and over 30 were injured in the stampede that took place on a narrow foot over-bridge that connects Elphinstone Road and Parel stations in Mumbai.
