Six months on, the railways have not been able to decongest the dangerous Ghatkopar station, which records a footfall of 3.87 lakh people every day, one of the highest along Central Railway. The Mumbai Railway Vikas Corporation (MRVC) Ltd is still working on the final design and no one knows if it is anywhere close to completion, a report said.

This paper had highlighted the issue in its front-page report on August 30 last year, following which Union Minister Piyush Goyal had ordered the officials to take immediate action. Local MP Manoj Kotak, who had taken up the matter with Goyal citing the mid-day report, was quoted as saying that Ghatkopar will get long-term solutions within a month.
