Thousands of local train riders in Mumbai were hit during rush hour on Tuesday as students demanding railway jobs sat and protested for hours on the rail tracks between busy stations in the heart of the city. Some 500 students started their protest around 7 am between the Matunga and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) stations in south Mumbai, blocking trains to one of the city's main business centres. The railways were forced to stop running suburban and express trains.
