Navigating peak hour crowds at a major railway station like Andheri is hard enough for commuters every day, but it turned into a painful and costly affair for a 48-year-old woman who tripped on a mound of cement on platform 2 and had to shell out Rs 20,000 to treat the resulting injury.

The cement had allegedly solidified there while platform levelling work was being carried out at the station, and no one had bothered to break or remove it after the project was completed.
