Under a plan to decongest the station, the slow line platform has already been widened and now the fast train platforms 10/11 at Dadar have been converted into double-discharge ones. “After removing the barricades and obstructions, the platform has become usable. We can now get into a Dadar local easily,” Avinash Burunde, a commuter said.

The removal of all stalls on platform 10 is an important step. The island platform was always crowded. We would like to congratulate whoever is responsible,” another commuter, Rakesh Ranjan, said.

“The railways are now giving finishing touches to the platform. Most of the cover over the platform is also in place on the newly opened side. This is the best way we could tweak and redesign in the given limitations,” a divisional official said.

Platforms 10/11 are used by both fast local trains and mail/express trains, which used to lead to crowding on platform 10 as passengers with luggage would wait on the platform along with local train commuters. The revamp has helped disperse the crowd in a big way.
