Thirty stalls at seven crowded stations on the Central Railway line in Mumbai have been removed and relocated to the ends of platforms to create more space for commuters. This is part of the decongestion plan to free up space on existing platforms, allowing better circulation for passengers. Similar space has been created at Dadar and Thane by widening old platforms to accommodate the increasing crowds.

“Stalls have been removed and relocated at seven crowded stations after analysing crowd patterns. They have been shifted to the ends of platforms so passengers still have access to amenities,” a senior official said.
