The spot on platform 1 after the staircase demolition
The redundant staircase on platform 1 at Ghatkopar station that mid-day had highlighted, has finally been pulled down, creating more space on the platform. After mid-day’s page 1 article (August 30, 2019) on how Ghatkopar station had become a recipe for disaster, the railways had stepped up development of the station, and hindrances and obstacles at the station for commuters are being removed.
I noticed it during my inspection visit to Ghatkopar station a few weeks ago and pulled up officials for this. The staircase had been left as it was and the escalator built over it. The staircase was taking over platform space further narrowing it down. I have got it demolished and now we have more space for passengers to stand and walk comfortably,” Central Railway Mumbai Divisional Manager Rajnish Goyal said.
