“He may get emotional after 11months travelling in Mumbai local train. Very touching image Mumbaikars will understand well. We are attached to our daily local trains and meet our friends.” “Mumbai locals connect points. They connect people. A smile here, a word there with fellow commuters. Only Mumbaikars will understand what locals mean.” “This is so pure. Only those who have struggled, hanging on to that last thread, in the wonderland called Mumbai may understand – “why”? Thanks for sharing.” wrote a few of the Twitter users.

The Coronavirus pandemic had hit the local train services which had never stopped running since the time it began. For the past few months, the services for the general public were restricted in the wake of the pandemic. However, on Monday, the services were resumed after eleven months.
