据印度时报报道，印度孟买Lower Parel火车站未安装自动扶梯现正在挖地，而这导致了该站等车的乘客受到严重伤害。挖地的地方在一号站台的一端，这里准备安装一台19米长的自动扶梯，但挖出来的坑让乘客没有地方站。有的乘客抱怨这个坑害得他们里铁轨太近了，几乎是被火车夹住了。其中一名乘客说他只希望没有人掉进坑里，也没有人被卷进铁轨。该站的工程预计在3月31日竣工。同时，西部铁路部门工作人员成将在坑旁搭建好围蔽措施。

　　　ESCALATOR CONSTRUCTION ENDANGERING INDIAN TRAIN RIDERS

　　Pits dug for the installation of escalators at the Lower Parel commuter rail station in Mumbai, India, have created a danger of serious injury to passengers waiting for trains, The Times of India reports. The pits were dug on one end of Platform 1 to facilitate the installation of a 19-m-long escalator but have left little room for commuters. Some of the commuters complained of having to stand too close to the track, where they were nearly struck by the train. One said he was “just praying that nobody falls into the pits or on the tracks.” Work at the station is supposed to be complete by March 31. In the meantime, a Western Railway spokesperson said barricades would be erected to block off the pits.
