With a view to enhance women’s safety inside local trains, especially during late nights, the Central Railway (CR) authorities have proposed to increase the halt time at platforms.

At stations like Byculla, Dadar, Kurla and other major stations where trains wait for 15 seconds, the stop time could go up to 25 seconds. At smaller stations, trains halt for 10 seconds, here too the halt timing could go up by another 5 seconds or more.  FIle pic for representation
