Suresh Prabhu's day out in a local train

Mumbai, Apr 22 (IBNS) The daily commuters in a Mumbai train on Thursday had an unlikely fellow passenger when Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu boarded a local train and remained standing throughout the journey like other commoners.

Reports said  Prabhu boarded a train from Currey Road station,where he was present for a stone laying ceremony for new foot over bridge (FOB), and travelled up to  Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) station.

Prabhu's train ride was an unplanned event. He  had earlier revised his plan of going to Currey Road and instead performed the stone laying foundation directly through video conference from the Matunga Workshop.  However,  as local politicians complained to the railways that they were deflecting from the original plan.  Prabhu went to Currey Road station.

Officials said that the local Shiv Sena party members had already asked members of their party to remain present and so, they wanted Prabhu to come. Finally at around 12.45pm, the minister, along with railway officials came to the station, where the stone laying was done for the second time.
