Commuters at Vikhroli station on the Central Railway have been suffering on platform no. 2-3 as its roof is missing. They have been especially troubled due to this in the rains. While preparations have been done to place the roof, the actual work has been pending, leading to commuter inconvenience at the height of the monsoon. Passengers have criticised the railways big talk of monsoon preparedness as they are forced to stand in the rain.

‘Do a reality check’

“The railways need to do a reality check before the monsoon as to which stations require what amenities and see that they are completed before time. Now the worst of the monsoon season is over and still the roof work is pending. What is the use of monsoon preparations and surveys?” asked an angry Suchetra Rao-Yadgul, a commuter and resident of Vikhroli.
