The disaster site went missing at Mulund station. It happened as early as two hours after the terror of bomb and shrapnel returned to Mumbai for the fourth time in as many months.The city’s spirit not to let things fall apart was at its best on Thursday night. And by today morning, all that remained of last night’s tragedy were commuters peering out of speeding trains and a fresh army of ticket examiners answering queries. Pak hand suspected Nw Delhi: The needle of suspicion for the Mulund blast, which killed 12 people, points towards Pakistan with Home Ministry officials confirming that the conspirators were the same as those who engineered the Ghatkopar blast. There is a definite pattern emerging between the two blasts as the explosives used are the same, ministry sources said. — ENS Central Railway’s usually grumbling commuters doffed their caps first. Train services were completely halted for a mere 25 minutes. Chief PRO of Central Railway Sunil Jain said: ‘‘The explosion occurred at 8.45 pm. Services on the slow tracks were restored at 9.05 pm and the up fast line by 10.35 pm.’’ Enquiry counters dispensed information on injured persons. Xerox copies of an updated list of the injured were displayed at various spots.But those who stole the show were a group of nearly 25 young men who turned up to help. They requested people to leave, directed others to enquiry counters and took down names of missing relatives .‘‘There were passengers trying to leave the station, thousands wanting to look at the mangled remains and many rushing in to enquire about their relatives,’’ says Jayesh Bhavsar. Bhavsar works as an operator at Sona Xerox and was among the volunteers.Santosh Kadam, also an operator at Sona Xerox, adds that the thought of a second explosion did cross their minds, but ‘‘it was more important to clear the station premises.’’ They hung around till 11.30 pm.
