As part of the phase-wise restoration of the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT), a team of artisans and workers from Rajasthan arrived in the city to work on the crucial roof, star-chamber and conference hall.

Speaking to mid-day, Central Railway chief public relations officer Shivaji Sutar said, "First initiated in 1997, currently the second phase of conservation work is under progress. The project has been divided into various sections. Restoration of the western façade (facing DN Road), southern façade, teak doors, beams and rafters is almost over and now the main part, which includes refurbishment of the roof, the central dome and the star-chamber, will be taken up in phases."
