Commuters raise concerns over unfinished platform cover at most railway stations despite railway minister's personal promise to wrap up work in May

Repair work at many stations required the removal of roofs
Despite Railway Minister Piyush Goyal’s promise about completing work on roofs at railway stations before the monsoon, the Central and Western Railways were caught unprepared on Monday night, with many commuters getting drenched due to the incomplete repairs. Angry commuters tweeted their displeasure to Goyal, while CR and WR officials claimed that the work will be completed soon.
The city experienced this season’s first showers over the past two days. For commuters taking the local trains, there was no respite from the rain, thanks to incomplete roof work on several stations.
