With nearly 2,000 passengers stranded at Lokmanya Tilak Terminus (LTT) railway station due to no trains plying till early Monday morning, BMC ward officer from L ward, Manish Valanju has decided to help by sending his team of officials to arrange for food packets and tea.

"When I came to know that such a large number of people are stranded and all the local shops and hotels are shut, I decided to help these people. They are stuck and have nowhere to go as they have to wait for the rescheduled trains. So I have coordinated with a few NGOs, contractors and my team of officials will be going to the station with food packets. We are trying to help them on humanitarian grounds," he told TOI.
