In a serious case of negligence by Western Railway contractor, spear-like iron rods have been kept jutting out openly on a railway platform for the past two days at a station like Bandra which is crowded all through the day. This also shows that station works are not monitored by railway officials who just tend to sit in their cabins.

While commuters dodge the rods with an ace as they get down from the trains and rush up the foot over bridge, one wrong step and it could seriously hurt or even kill anyone.
