A major traffic jam on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Highway stranded over 500 students for nearly 12 hours, raising concerns over traffic management and emergency coordination.

Traffic jam on Mumbai-Ahmedabad highway; over 500 students stuck for 12 hours

A major traffic jam on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Highway stranded over 500 students for nearly 12 hours, raising concerns over traffic management and emergency coordination.

A massive traffic jam on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad National Highway in Maharashtra's Palghar district stranded more than 500 students and commuters for nearly 12 hours, officials said on Wednesday.
Twelve buses carrying students from Classes 5 to 10 of different schools, along with some college students from neighbouring Thane and Mumbai, were caught in the gridlock stretching for several kilometres near Vasai from around 5.30 pm on Tuesday till early Wednesday morning, they said.
The children, who were returning from a school picnic near Virar, had to remain without food or water for several hours.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic), Vasai, Poornima Chowgule-Shringi said the traffic jam was yet to be cleared.
The massive congestion on Tuesday evening left vehicles barely inching forward for hours.
By night, many students were exhausted, hungry and anxious, while worried parents waited tensely for updates on their children's safety.
Members of a local social organisation rushed to the site. They distributed water and biscuits to the stranded children and helped drivers manoeuvre buses through the congested lanes.
"The students were crying due to hunger and exhaustion. It was heartbreaking to see them suffer because of the poor traffic management," an activist said.
The jam was apparently triggered by the diversion of heavy vehicles due to ongoing repair works on the Ghodbunder highway in Thane, which resulted in excessive traffic load on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad route, the activist said.
An official from the Mira Bhayander-Vasai Virar police control room said there was a massive traffic jam, which was being cleared.
"The congestion is slowly easing, but movement remains sluggish," the official said.
Some buses carrying the students managed to take a detour, while others inched forward slowly through the jam. The last of the stranded buses reached its destination by 6 am on Wednesday, sources said.
The parents of the stranded children and other locals blamed poor planning and lack of coordination among authorities for the situation.
"Our children were left helpless for hours. There was no police, no information, no system in place," one of the parents claimed.
Residents demanded that the traffic department and civic authorities take immediate corrective measures to prevent such incidents in the future, especially when repair work and diversions on roads are planned.&nbsp;

The accident led to the loss of 13 lives, including a Naval personnel and two from the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) on board the Naval craft, the Navy said.

13 dead, 99 rescued after Navy boat rams into ferry off Mumbai coast

The accident led to the loss of 13 lives, including a Naval personnel and two from the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) on board the Naval craft, the Navy said.

The Mumbai police on Thursday said the ferry &lsquo;Neel Kamal&rsquo; that capsized after being hit by a Navy craft off the Gateway of India had a capacity of 90 passengers but had over 100 persons on board.
Thirteen persons, including Navy personnel and two contractual naval employees, were killed in the accident on Wednesday afternoon and 98 were rescued.
According to the documents issued by the Maharashtra Maritime Board concerning the boat, it had permission to carry 84 passengers and 6 crew members but the ferry was carrying over a hundred persons, a police official said.
Police have gathered all the documents related to the boat, he said.
A case has been registered against the Navy craft driver at the Colaba police station, the official said.
The BNS sections invoked in the FIR included those related to causing death by negligence, actions that endanger the personal safety or life of others, rash or negligent navigation of a vessel and acts of mischief that cause wrongful loss or damage to individuals or the public.
There were two German nationals and one Canadian on board &lsquo;Neel Kamal&rsquo; at the time of the mid-sea collision and they were safely rescued, he said.
Cops have so far recorded the statements of nine persons who were rescued by the Indian Navy, Coast Guard, Mumbai police and CISF teams and identification of all the 13 bodies has been done, he said.
The accident-affected Naval craft is in the custody of the Indian Navy and police will demand it whenever needed for the investigation, he said.
Meanwhile, the mangled passenger ferry has been taken to &lsquo;Bhaucha Dhakka&rsquo; (a wharf near Dockyard Road) in south Mumbai, another official said.
Of the 113 persons on board both vessels, 13 died and 98, including two injured, were rescued. There were six persons on board the Navy craft, of which two survived, officials have said. Efforts are underway to trace two missing passengers, they have said.
