All that Mumbaikars want is a roof above their heads, especially when they have to travel long distances while it pours outside. But, unfortunately, the Central Railway (CR) fails to meet even this basic need. After a sustained coverage by mid-day regarding the absence of roofs over platforms at several stations, the CR fixed most of it, but rains have exposed their shoddy work. It seems the work was done in a hurry, as whenever it rains, the roofs at most stations start leaking.

A visit to Thane station on Wednesday revealed the truth. The roof over platform number 4 was found leaking at places. A regular commuter, Akshay Datar said, "The roof on platform number 4 is leaking everywhere. The railways seem to have done the work in a hurry. The situation is the same on other platforms as well. The floor tiles have also come off at places."

Another commuter said, "The station manager and other staff do not seem to step out and see what the condition is like. Even it seems the engineering department of CR has failed to monitor the work properly."
