Maha CM Devendra Fadnavis announces of AC locals replacing Mumbai locals 
Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis minister has announced plans to convert the existing local trains to AC, lower fares, and enhance safety. This comes following a recent fatal accident in Mumbra in which four people lost their lives
According to the CM? Fadnavis he had a discussion with Union Railway Minister Ashwani Vaishnaw at length on Monday to prevent similar accidents in the future.
He said the Indian Railways has decided to strengthen the carrying capacity of the suburban railways amidst peak hours and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). Rail infrastructure will also be scaled up infrastructure from a safety point of view while upgrading the amenities.
As the first step, the rakes on suburban routes will be converted to air-conditioned ones with the facility of shutting doors. We want railway passengers to receive services similar to that of Metro train passengers at a closer cost without discrimination. The peak-hour overcrowding on the local trains happens because the Metro network in MMR is not fully operational, for which carrying capacity will be increased.
