After five years of negotiation and alleged poor coordination, the civic body has finally given the Western Railways the permission to build two escalators on the west side of Jogeshwari station, but with conditions.

The bone of contention was a piece of land on Patel Estate Road in the west of Jogeshwari station, where the escalators in the west would land. The land belongs to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation and the WR needed its approval.
