It is indeed sad to note that four gangmen were killed when they were run over by a local train between suburban Kurla and Vidhya Vihar stations. The mishap took place in the early morning hours when four contractual labourers were walking along the track were caught inside and died. The deceased were teenagers and one senior member was among them. It is likely that it is a case of tresspassing. The gangmen will have to walk along the track and they are in the fringe of death due to their nature of job. For them there is no job security and face the risk of running over by train all the time. Actually, they are venturing in danger land and need more care and attention.
