With just one-and-a-half month left for completion of platform-levelling work at three WR stations, the Passenger Amenities Committee (PAC) has demanded an inquiry into the quality of cement used for the work. After the PAC members and senior railway officials visited stations earlier this month, they said that contractors were using inferior quality material to increase platform height.

The issue has always been contentious, as statistics citing Railway deaths have shown that a significant number of commuters have been injured after falling in the gap between the train and platform.
