The civic body and railways really need to get their act together and stop troubling citizens by repeatedly passing the buck. Usual lack of coordination between the two has been inconveniencing commuters passing through Andheri station's east side. Immediate work was needed for a proper approach road, as the entry-exit point gets flooded every monsoon. But with both the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and railway authorities saying it's the other's responsibility to do it, the local MLA decided to take it upon himself to get it done for commuters' sake.

The issue
The access road to the ticket booking centre at Andheri East, from where the BMC had moved all the shops to widen the entry-exit point, was not completely done up. And to add to citizens' misery, railways and BMC neither fixed it nor coordinated with each other about the flooding problem. Ramesh Latke, Shiv Sena MLA from Andheri East, said that after several locals approached him, asking him to take up the issue with the BMC, he decided to get the job done by using his MLA fund, instead of running around trying to follow up with the civic authorities.
