"We will gather information about the incident and examine the escalators on our network too," a CR spokesperson said
When mid-day visited the site, the escalator in question was shut for public use and several technicians from the company that manufactured it along with railway officials were inspecting it
The dangerous reverse movement of escalators at Western Railway's (WR) Andheri station on Monday evening has prompted an inspection of escalators on all suburban railway stations. Railway stations on both Central Railway (CR) and WR have over 100 functional escalators, including the Harbour Line and major termini.
As per official statistics, till December 2019, WR's Mumbai division has 48 escalators (16 having been built in 2019) and CR's Mumbai division has 67 escalators with about nine built in 2019. More are being planned and developed on both networks.
