Six days after Rail Minister Piyush Goyal directed them to ease congestion at Ghatkopar station, Central Railway and Metro One teams have started work, demolishing a portion of a wall that was impeding movement. Goyal had given officials 30 days to draw up a plan after local MP Manoj Kotak brought to his attention a mid-day report dated August 30, which raised concerns about overcrowding at the key station.

Ghatkopar is among the most high-density stations along central line and also caters to the entire Metro rail crowd turning the platform extremely chaotic during rush hours.
