Commuters traveling on the Pune-Daund railway route are demanding the deployment of Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) trains instead of the current Mainline Electric Multiple Unit (MEMU) trains. The change to MEMU trains was implemented in May 2024 due to routine maintenance of Diesel Electric Multiple Units (DEMU) in Mumbai. Passengers are...

They advocate for the implementation of a long-pending proposal to declare the Pune-Daund route a suburban section, enabling the introduction of EMU local services. This proposal, pending with the Railway Board since June 2023, gained momentum after the Railway Board included 24 stations, including Daund Junction, from the Solapur Division into the Pune Division in April 2024. Passengers, particularly those traveling to Pune for work or study, highlight the shortcomings of MEMU trains, including the lack of ladies, first-class, divyang, and luggage coaches, and their insufficient speed. Railway officials acknowledge the demand for EMU services and confirm that the proposal has been forwarded to the Railway Board, while reiterating that the use of MEMU trains is a temporary measure due to DEMU maintenance in Mumbai. Commuter groups highlight the advantages of EMU trains, including their frequency, speed, and accommodation for various passenger categories, advocating for a permanent solution through the reinstatement of EMU local services.
Pune-Daund railway route pe chalne wale commuters, MEMU trains ke badle EMU trains chahte hain. May 2024 se Mumbai mein DEMU trains ke maintenance ke wajah se MEMU trains use kiye ja rahe hain. Passengers MEMU service se khush nahi hain aur yeh ek temporary fix maante hain. Unka maanna hai...

June 2023 se Railway Board ke pass pending yeh proposal, April 2024 mein Solapur Division se Pune Division mein Daund Junction ke saath 24 stations include hone ke baad aur bhi mahatvpurn ho gaya. Kam ya padhai ke liye Daund se Pune jaane wale passengers MEMU trains ki limitations par zor dete hain, jaise ki ladies, first-class, divyang aur luggage coaches ki kami, aur distance cover karne ke liye unki kaafi slow speed. Railway officials EMU services ki demand maan rahe hain aur confirmed kar rahe hain ki yeh proposal Railway Board ko bhej diya gaya hai. Unhone yeh bhi bataya ki Mumbai mein DEMU ke maintenance ke wajah se MEMU trains ka use temporary hai. Commuter groups EMU trains ke advantages par zor de rahe hain, jaise ki unki frequency, speed aur alag alag category ke passengers ke liye accommodation, aur EMU local services ko restart kar ke permanent solution maang rahe hain.
