The clash between Byculla residents and Nigerian drug peddlers on June 7, which left around 10 locals injured, has led the Government Railway Police (GRP) to conduct a survey of the notorious stretch between the Masjid and Byculla stations. On the basis of their findings, they have now written a letter to railway officials, asking them to clean up the area, thus putting the onus on the latter for a permanent solution.

GRP commissioner Niket Kaushik confirmed that he wrote to the Central Railway officials recently to clean up the tracks so that illegal activities do not take place.
