The Central Railway’s successful trick of using Canadian fences in the terraneous ghat section of Lonavala-Khandala will be replicated in Mumbai city this monsoon to prevent landslides and related disasters. Canadian fencing is a special type of rock fall barrier wire mesh that the CR has been successfully using in the ghat sections for the past few years to prevent boulders from falling onto the tracks. “At the joint meeting between the railways and the BMC, it was discussed that the BMC should try to use the fencing method in the hilly areas of the city,” a CR official said.
