The Maharashtra state is still under mini lockdown as the government has not allowed all the shops to open. Even local trains in Mumbai are banned for the general public which is causing a problem for the office goers.
However, the demands for opening the local train service have been raised by Mumbaikars. Now, Maharashtra BJP leader Pravin Darekar on Sunday said the saffron party will launch protests if the state government doesn’t allow people who have taken two doses of COVID-19 vaccine to travel by suburban trains in Mumbai.
Speaking to reporters in Dombivali township in Thane district, the Leader of Opposition in the state Legislative Council said residents of Thane, Karjat and Kasara need to travel to their workplaces in Mumbai but they couldn’t due to the present restrictions on train travel.
“I will take up this issue with Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray. If children are allowed to attend schools in California, then what stops this government from allowing the people to travel in trains?” he questioned.
Darekar also said he will speak to the Railway Minister in this regard.
“If no decision is taken, the BJP will launch an agitation including ‘Rail Roko’,” he added.
