Mumbaikars have reason to cheer as plans for a royal revamp of Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) have been annou­nced. Reports suggest the Centre’s Urban Development Department selected CST as one of the nation’s 10 most iconic spots. Now, a two-pron­ged effort by BMC and Central Railway will kick off soon.

We can only hope these plans don’t remain only on paper, like it has happened to several projects in the past. A dedicated timeline needs to be set to get this project off the runway and to ensure it gets completed on time.
