Commissioner of Railway Safety Manoj Arora (Central Circle) inspected the complete section from Diva to Thane, right down to nuts and bolts under the bridges before authorising the linking of tracks
Tests and trials have been cleared by the railways, and now, the public must tolerate an 18-hour mega block, for the Thane-Diva 5th and 6th lines on Sunday. In D-Day for the Diva-Thane rail project which is delayed by 12 years, the Commissioner of Railway Safety Manoj Arora (Central Circle) on Friday meticulously inspected the complete section from Diva to Thane, and authorised the go ahead for “cut and connection work” to complete the final linking work of the tracks.
This means that on Sunday, when the work will be done, there will be an 18-hour block with no trains available at Kalwa and Mumbra stations through the day with the Central Railway arranging about 200 buses for commuters. On Monday morning, trains will be able to take a small stretch of the new lines.
