Despite multiple requests and assurances, most Central Railway platforms yet to get roofs; passengers in for a hot and fiery wait for trains this summer

A senior official said whenever passenger amenities like a foot overbridge etc are added, the roof cover is supposed to be removed temporarily
Many commuters of the Central Railway know exactly what they will be doing this summer. Baking on umpteen platforms that have been left roofless, while they await their trains. Despite multiple requests by commuters and assurances by the authorities, the Central Railway is yet to get roofs for all its suburban stations, leaving gaps on platforms. Union Railway Minister Piyush Goyal had promised to get them roofs and has asked the railways to deliver on priority.
To give the job a push, Goyal had also said that he had put it in the safety works category, but it does not seem to be helping in any way, as work is yet to gather steam, since no one is monitoring it.
