The Central Railway has overloaded Ghatkopar station's platform number one with useless passenger amenities. These are not used and are creating bottlenecks for free movement of passengers that could lead to a stampede, a report in this paper said. Ghatkopar is one of the high-density stations along the route. It also caters to the Metro Railway crowd turning the platform extremely chaotic during rush hours.

A defunct ticket counter and old staircase is eating up space on the already crowded platform, said the report. We need that space to be cleared immediately. In a city where the space crunch is absolutely severe, and even life threatening at times as our infra has proven, every inch is vital. Pushing and shoving on platforms is not just dangerous but also deadly.
