    Being from Mumbai,I can say that the report is accurately worded.It would have been nearer the truth if it were reported as strugal for survaival.Is’nt it noteworthy that these trains are equally crowded even after bomb blasts?It has happened more than once.People commute knowing fully well that they could be in the same compartment where a may explod!.
