mid-day impact: The action comes after an article that highlighted how dangerous structures continue to exist along Mumbai's railway lines, putting commuters at risk

Half of the abandoned sub-station was pulled down by Wednesday
Thanks to a mid-day article, the dangerous structure of the abandoned Vikhroli sub-station that stood with the support of metal props, is finally being pulled down just before the monsoon sets. After a simple survey, mid-day had highlighted in its March 19 edition, in 'Declared dangerous, but still standing,' how dangerous structures continue to exist along Mumbai's railway lines that ferry about 8 million commuters daily.
The old 1,500 V Direct Current (DC) sub-station between Vikhroli and Kanjurmarg stood precariously with the support of metal props, and had been marked dangerous in bold letters, warning everyone to stay away from it.
