15 Dead, 30 Injured In Stampede Near Mumbai’s Elphinstone Station

The two stations are used by much of Mumbai's local train commuters as there are a large number of offices in the area.

Asked what the trigger was, a western railways official said: "Because of the rain, two trains came here, two on central line. Four trains came at the same time."

Reports suggest there have been calls for repairing the bridge, which is too old and narrow and not strong enough to take the busy sector. "It was a disaster waiting to happen," remarked a local resident.
