मुंबईत १५ डब्यांची लोकल आणखी महिन्याभरात सुरू होईल. पश्चिम रेल्वेवर दादर येथून ही लोकल सुटेल. यामुळे जगातील सर्वांत मोठी उपनगरी रेल्वे असा विक्रमही भारतीय रेल्वेच्या नावावर नोंदवला जाईल.
जूनच्या अखेरच्या दिवशी पहिली लोकल सुटेल अशी माहिती पश्चिम रेल्वेचे विभागीय व्यवस्थापक सी.पी. शर्मा यांनी दिली. यामुळे अधिक प्रवासी वाहून नेले जातील आणि लोकलवर पडणारा भार कमी होईल अशी अपेक्षा आहे.
