Meant to reduce chaos at Dombivli station, a new foot overbridge at its Kalyan-end is making commuters sweat, quite literally. Users say it is too steep to climb and could be dangerous, particularly for senior citizens. Passenger body Bharatiya Rail Yatri first highlighted the difficulties faced by train users, calling it an "engineering disaster". Citizens have been complaining of cramps, too.
