The platform at Dadar station where escalator-related work is taking place
Central Railway (CR) Mumbai has begun its favourite work again, digging a hole. The newly widened platform no. 8 at Dadar station has been dug up again, and barricaded, creating a narrow pathway, repeating the same tapered entry/exit at the north end of the station. Though temporary, due to work related to new escalators, the situation has again become dangerous during rush hours with crowds jostling and struggling.
“The work could have been taken up simultaneously, and this barricading could have been avoided. The Government Railway Police has put additional barricades on the other side, leading to more problems and narrowing down the point further. The barricades on the side where work is on could be lessened and opened up,” a commuter, Avinash Khandelwal, said. “Widening of the platform was a very good move, but these works should have been done together in a consolidated manner so digging and barricading does not happen endlessly like this,” another commuter advocate, Shailaja Mehta, said.
