The dreaded Narangi Fatak, located just ahead of Virar station — the ultimate test of patience for motorists and train commuters alike — may finally be closing its gates soon. The new road overbridge built near it is nearing completion and may partially open for road traffic in the next few weeks. However, a few local activists are trying to delay the closure of the gate by demanding a road underbridge (subway) at the site before the gates are shut.
