Hazardous material jutting out of the under-construction parking complex for the Railways keeps wary commuters on their toes, highlighted a report in this paper. Thane railway station's new parking lot may be a promising source of revenue for the Railways, but metal rods jutting out of the under-construction complex are giving commuters using the foot overbridge on one of the busiest station's western side a hard time.

Thane is one of the busiest suburban railway stations, handling over 6.54 lakh passengers daily with more than 1,000 trains passing through.
