By25-year-old Dhanashri Godave was on her way to work when she apparently lost her balance between Dombivali and Koper.Overcrowding of locals on the Central Railway claimed another life on the stretch between Dombivali and Koper on Monday. Dhanashri Godave died after she fell off a CSTbound train during peak hours.The fatal mishap occurred around 8.35 am. According to the General Railway Police (GRP) officials, the 25-year-old woman might have boarded the 8.31 CST fast from Dombivali. The GRP was alerted about the accident at 8.42 am.DCP Rupali Ambure said Dhanashri was taken to the hospital, but was declared dead on arrival. The Dombivali resident was an employee of a private firm at Cuffe Parade and was on her way to work on Monday morning.“It was like any other working day for Dhanshri. Little did she know that the ride would be her last,” said her brother Subham. Her father, who runs a printing press, was not in a state to talk to the media.Over the years, the rail route between Kalyan and Thane has emerged as the killer stretch. Out of 545 deaths on the Central line, over 200 people died in train-related accidents on this part of the network. Since January, 16 people have fallen off local between Thakurli and Diva.The death of 21-year-old Bhavesh Nakate, another Dombivali resident, between Kopar and Diva in November 2015 had raised safety concerns of commuters using a transport system that is operating way beyond its capacity.Nakate’s fall, which was recorded by a fellow commuter, had shocked the conscience of the city. In the clip, he could be seen slowly losing grip of the grab rod and pleading for help. He is then hit by a signal pole close to the tracks.The incident had prompted Union Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu to set up a high-level committee to identify the problems faced by rail commuters in Mumbai – about 70 lakh people use the city’s local train network daily. The committee is expected to submit its report in this week.“The trains at Dombivali are always overcrowded. She must have thought that missing a train would not make any difference. No matter how many of them you miss, it is always this crowded,” said Anil Kale maternal uncle of Dhanshri.While Dombivali, as per information obtained under RTI, has emerged as the most crowded station on CR with roughly 2.34 lakh passengers, the number of services catering to this burgeoning commuter base is 56, one up from the count in 2010 – when the footfall at the station was about 2 lakh.Asked why the frequency of locals has remained unchanged in the last five years, particularly between Kalyan and Thane, a senior Central Railway (CR) official pointed to an as-yet unfinished project. “Work on 5th and 6th lines between Diva and Dombivali is still incomplete. That's why we have not been able to add new services that start from Dombivali.”“We are also going through the CCTV footage at Dombivali station, from where Dhanashri had boarded the train. It will help us understand her journey better,” said a GRP officer.Zonal Railway Users’ Consultative Committee member Subhash Gupta said the suburban railway network was on the verge of collapse. “A local train's capacity is around 1,700 people. But during rush hours, it carries around 5,000 people. You can imagine the plight of the commuters. It's a miracle that people don’t die of suffocation inside the compartments.”In another incident, a commuter, Manoj Gauda, sustained serious injuries after he fell off a moving train near Thane around 11.30 am. The police said Gauda, who was standing on the footboard, was commuting in a CST-bound fast local when he lost balance after complaining of giddiness.
