How Thane station was transformed for PM’s event
Updated On: 19 February, 2022 07:23 AM IST | Mumbai | Rajendra B. Aklekar
Hawkers chased away, broken water coolers hidden, jaywalkers removed from level crossing —everything commuters want happened only for function

Commuters were happy with the changes
The Thane railway station had a makeover on Friday when Prime Minister Narendra Modi virtually dedicated to the nation the new 5th and 6th lines between Thane and Diva. Hawker gangs went missing from the entire Thane station complex, debris and dysfunctional water machines were hidden with green cloth and the level crossing gate was free of jaywalkers.
PM’s event and Railways Minister Ashiwini Vaishnaw’s inspections of Thane and Diva stations led to miracles which seldom happen after commuters complain.
