The Maharashtra Police had to use force to disperse a crowd of about 200 people who had gathered at the railway station and on tracks in Nalasopara, a satellite town of Mumbai. They demanded that they should be allowed to board local trains to reach their workplaces in Mumbai, about an hour away by train and two hours by road. Members of the crowd, most of whom were wearing masks but stood very close together, started protesting after inordinate delay in arrival of state transport buses.
