A series of reports in mid-day highlighting rail passengers’ ordeal triggered by infrastructure work at Bandra Terminus has prompted politicians to step in. They told mid-day that they would get in touch with top railway officials to resolve the problem. Citing pit line work, which facilitates the inspection of coaches, the Western Railway has shifted the terminating and originating points of several trains to Vapi, Valsad, Dadar, Mumbai Central and Borivli. With Gujarat elections underway, politicians frequenting the state from other places are also getting troubled.
MP Gopal Shetty told mid-day, “I don’t have much knowledge about how many trains are terminated at Vapi and Valsad due to the pit line work at Bandra Terminus. But I will speak with railway mantralaya about this problem and try to resolve it. Before taking any decision, the railways should give information to their passengers so that people can plan their journey accordingly. Nobody should get troubled during their journey.”
