Kalyan is a busy junction for local trains as well as outstation ones, seeing lakhs of passengers daily in both these sections. This just means that the number of people inconvenienced because of the pathetic state of the skywalk here also runs into lakhs. While the skywalk provides east-west connectivity with arms in both directions, the east, say residents, is hell and the west just a notch up.

Hawkers are a nuisance and broken flooring a hazard on Kalyan skywalk. Pics/Datta Kumbhar
