MUMBAI: Guardian minister for the island city Jayant Patil ( Nationalist Congress Party ) on Friday slammed the railway administration for continuously 'ignoring' Mumbai after commuters had to face hardships due to erratic services for the sixth consecutive day.

"I had written to the railway ministry seeking an appointment to discuss grievances of Mumbai's commuters a few months back. Forget an appointment, the administration did not respond to my letter," Patil said, adding, "It seems the administration is ignoring Mumbai, one of the biggest revenue generators for the railways."
