Two weeks after mid-day highlighted the unmanageable crush at Ghatkopar station, Railway Minister Piyush Goyal has scrambled his top officials and given them 30 days to fix the issue. Goyal, who was in the city to inaugurate a slew of projects, spoke of the congestion problem after local MP Manoj Kotak highlighted mid-day's front page report, 'Next Disaster Arriving on Platform No. 1', dated August 30.

Speaking from the stage at a public function at CSMT, Goyal directed railway officials to study the congestion issue at Ghatkopar and submit an action plan on station improvement at his New Delhi office within 30 days. He also directed Central Railways Divisional Railway Manager, his team of heads of department, and the local MP Manoj Kotak to visit the station after the function.
