Mumbra train accident: Court likely to hear pre-arrest bail plea of 2 engineers

Published by Parlour News

A court in Maharashtra’s Thane is expected to deliver its order on Thursday on the pre-arrest bail plea of two Railway engineers booked for culpable homicide in the Mumbra train accident that killed five persons in June. The accident occurred on June 9 between Diva and Mumbra stations in Thane district when two local trains — one headed to Kasara and the other towards Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) in Mumbai — were passing each other at a sharp curve (near the Mumbra station).(Praful Gangurde / HT Photo) Arguing before Additional Sessions Judge G T Pawar on Wednesday, Defence counsel Baldev Rajput termed the prosecution’s theory blaming the duo for the accident “completely baseless and misleading”. Earlier, the prosecution had highlighted that a Railway report cited a passenger’s bag as the cause, but “no bag was recovered during the ‘panchnama” (spot assessment). Questioning the panchnama, Rajput said it was conducted two days after the incident, making it improbable that evidence would remain intact. The videos presented by the defence, he said, clearly showed bags at …

Mumbra train deaths: 5 months later, 2 Central Railway engineers booked for ‘negligence’ | Mumbai News

Published by Parlour News

The Government Railway Police (GRP) Monday booked two Central Railway engineers in connection with the June 9 Mumbra train accident in which four commuters died and nine others were injured after falling off two overcrowded local trains in Thane. The GRP, which had investigated the accident, has blamed the incident on negligence of the two officials — a senior section engineer and a section engineer. The accident occurred when two overcrowded local trains passed each other on a sharp curve between Diva and Mumbra stations, leading to passengers falling off the trains. Story continues below this ad The Central Railway had also conducted an inquiry which stated that the accident was triggered by the “protruding” backpack of a commuter standing on the footboard of one train brushing against passengers on another train moving in the opposite direction. This contact led to a domino effect, causing several people to lose balance and fall from the moving trains, as per theCR inquiry, which did not blame any official for the incident.

Mumbra is a Delicious Tea Time Snack with Prawn & Banana

Published by Webster

A unique and unusual tea time snack from the Pathare Prabhus of Maharashtra, this is a sweet and savoury bake featuring banana and prawn. This recipe combines two of my most favourite foods in the world – bananas and  prawns. Often prepared as an afternoon snack, Mumbra was an exciting addition to our otherwise static teatime routine. But the most delicious thing about it, is that this is a recipe so simple, it can be prepared in less than an hour.  It was only after Aji, my grandmother, was diagnosed with Parkinsons that I took down the recipe from her and made it exactly as per her instructions. I took it out of the oven and waited with bated breath for her verdict. When she pronounced it excellent, I breathed a sigh of relief — no, more than that: it made my day! Source link
