Crushed and slammed into each other, passengers of Metro and local trains have been having a hard time amid limited entry and exit points at the Ghatkopar railway station on Central Railway (CR). Tired of and worried about jostling with persistent crowds throughout the day, commuters have demanded that the main 12-metre bridge connecting the Metro to the railway station be reopened immediately.

We only had the masks to save us. Both modes of transport are open to the public, leading to jam-packed crowds, which could be very dangerous amid the pandemic," said 42-year-old essential worker Sushila Chandan Yadav, as she jostled her way out of Ghatkopar station.
