In a frustrating turn of events on November 23, 2024, commuters traveling on the CSMT-bound AC local train on Mumbai’s Central Railway were left stranded when the doors failed to open at Dadar station. The train, which had halted at the station during morning rush hours, proceeded on its onward journey, forcing passengers to disembark at Parel instead.
