On Thursday, angry commuters on the Mumbai-Nagpur Duronto Express broke open the emergency windows of two coaches, as the air-conditioner (AC) was not functional.

This is the second such incident in less than 15 days. On November 10, the Mumbai-Nagpur train was called back from Masjid Bunder following complaints that the AC was not functional.

Passengers said attendants kept assuring them that the AC will be repaired at the next halt, but didn’t do anything. Upset, the commuters broke open the emergency windows of coaches B1 and B2.

Central Railway spokesperson SC Mudgerikar confirmed the incident and said that there seems to be some snag with the Duronto train.

“There are some teething troubles with the coaches. We have informed the manufacturers, the Rail Coach Factory, and they will soon be sending a team to find a solution.”
