It’s a space jam like no other at Parel railway station, ever since fencing along the tracks forced passengers to keep off the rail lines and take to its narrow foot over bridge (FOB). After a slew of complaints were received from the passengers, especially women, the Railway Protection Force (RPF) has decided to deploy personnel at the station to ensure that people don’t get injured in the stampede-like situation that is the norm on the bridge.
