This happened during a busy time, and with heavy rain, it made things even worse.
Many people were stuck, and there was a lot of panic.
Security personnel had to step in to help manage the crowd and get the train moving again.
No one was hurt, but it showed how important it is for the train doors to work properly, especially when so many people are using them.
A technical malfunction in an AC local train caused doors to fail to open properly at Kalyan station during peak hour.
The incident occurred at 8:54 AM, with doors either partially open or completely shut, disrupting boarding and alighting.
Heavy monsoon showers added to the commuters' struggles as they tried to board through limited access points.
The train was already crowded with passengers from Kopar and Dombivli, making the situation worse when more tried to board at Kalyan.
