“The train was just entering Kasara station's platform no. 4 when the incident occurred, leading to mud and debris to enter into the train. One commuter sustained injuries to his feet. The deputy station master provided him with first aid. There have been no other repercussions. The track was declared safe by 9:35 pm,” Central Railway Chief Public Relations Officer Dr Swapnil Nila told Mid-day.
