With onset of monsoon just days away, commuters fear getting drenched while entering, exiting suburban trains
The lateral extensions of platforms 5 and 6 at Thane railway station have left the modified portions without roof cover
While the Central Railway (CR) has been jubilant that they had managed to upgrade two Mumbai stations within a period of 63-hours, commuters at Thane complained that the extended platform would also need a roof cover as the monsoon season is approaching.
CR officials said that they were working towards it and they were on the job. Officials said the new extended platform will get proper flooring and a roof. They said that building a roof couldn’t have been practically possible earlier as there were live overhead wires in place and after the platform extension, the support pillars of the platforms would need to be upgraded to take the additional weight of the extended roof.
