There must be strict action against the women who initiated this as it will set a very unfortunate precedent, if the culprits go scot-free. It can lead to absolute chaos if commuters feel emboldened to emulate this and we see a similar, bolt-and-bar situation at other stations. Imagine if a crowd waiting to get inside a train finds doors locked. There will be terrible and very dangerous rage and desperation which, because of the crush on platforms, can lead to an extremely tragic scenario.

We need to nip this train thuggery in the bud by alerting police, at once. From holding ‘seats’ to muscling one’s way to window seats, forming groups who use numbers to intimidate and claim space within bogeys, this is a long-standing problem that needs to be addressed in a non-negotiable way.

Signboards and addressing commuters over the system about how this bolting of doors will lead to the strictest action, will help, too.
