Mumbai Train Deaths Decline in 2025

Mumbai Train Deaths Decline in 2025

In 2025, there were fewer deaths and injuries on Mumbai's local trains compared to 2024.

However, on average, six people still died every day.

Most deaths happened at track crossings or due to overcrowding.

Some areas, like Thane and Kalyan, had more deaths than others.

Experts say adding automatic doors to trains could help, but the trains need to be redesigned first.

The railway has taken some safety steps, like fencing platforms and sealing dangerous spots.

They are also planning to add more air-conditioned trains in the future.
