 "Watch: Auto-rickshaw runs on platform inside Mumbai railway station, fined")
For people travelling on a daily basis, auto-rickshaws are one of the most common means of transport and are regularly seen plying on the road across cities and villages in India. However, have you ever seen an auto-rickshaw running inside a railway platform? Well, this was exactly the case recently in Mumbai where an auto-rickshaw was seen running on a platform inside a Mumbai railway station further leading to the arrest of the auto driver and seizure of his vehicle. The video of the incident has also gone viral and left people fuming over the same. In what seems to be a clear case of traffic rule violations, the auto rickshaw driver took his vehicle inside the Kurla railway station further driving on the platform. While many people tried to stop the vehicle and move the vehicle away from the platform, he continued to move on forward. Finally, the railway police intervened and he was made to turn back. The video was shared by a Twitter user named Rajendra B Aklekar who tagged the Railway Police and Mumbai Traffic Police and asked them to take action against the driver. “Kurla station auto mafia on the platform. Please check & verify this. Too much freedom is given. Isn’t this a safety hazard for trains?” a part of his tweet read.
In response to the tweet, the Railway Police also sought details of the matter and further assured that the case has been escalated to the concerned authorities. In another response, the RPF Mumbai Division added that a case has been registered following the Twitter complaint and the vehicle has been seized. The driver was also arrested and fined under the Railway Act.
In the meantime, the now-viral video has grabbed the attention of many and people have been raising complaints about the incident. One commented “Auto walas are law themselves. They don’t fear any authority” while another wrote, “Is this for real? Can’t believe that they have so much courage to break the law.” Check some reactions:
