Mumbra Train Accident News: Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi has slammed the Modi government at the Centre for celebrating at a time when lives were lost in the Mumbra train accident. The Narendra Modi-led government is celebrating 11 years in office. Rahul Gandhi's objection came in the wake of the Mumbra train accident, which claimed five lives on Monday.

"While the Modi Government is celebrating 11 years of service, the reality of the country is reflected in the tragic news coming from Mumbai – several people died after falling from a train. Indian Railways is the backbone of the lives of crores of people, but today it has become a symbol of insecurity, congestion and chaos," he posted on X.

जब मोदी सरकार 11 साल की “सेवा” का जश्न मना रही है, तब देश की हक़ीक़त मुंबई से आ रही दर्दनाक ख़बर में दिखती है - ट्रेन से गिरकर कई लोगों की मौत।

भारतीय रेल करोड़ों की ज़िंदगी की रीढ़ है, लेकिन आज असुरक्षा, भीड़ और अव्यवस्था की प्रतीक बन चुकी है।

मोदी सरकार के 11 साल = न…

— Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) June 9, 2025

"11 years of Modi government = no accountability, no change, only propaganda. The government has stopped talking about 2025 and is now selling dreams of 2047 [sic]," he said.

"Who will see what the country is facing today? I express my deepest condolences to the families of the deceased and wish the injured a speedy recovery," he further posted.

Mumbra Train Accident

The Mumbra train accident occurred on Monday when passengers on two oncoming trains collided with each other and fell on the tracks. The passengers were reportedly standing on the steps near the doors, hanging outside the trains as they were crowded.

They collided when the trains passed by each other. The accident occurred between Mumbra and Diva stations near Thane.
