The Wadala-Kurla rail line, a PMO (Prime Minister’s Office) monitored project costing Rs 175 crore, has been delayed as vegetable and fish vendors who reside close to the tracks await rehabilitation.

The project is expected to speed up services by separating the goods line, coming from the Mumbai Port Trust (MbPT), from the suburban rail line. The project is also expected to benefit lakhs of people travelling on the CST-Panvel and CST-Andheri Harbour line every day.
