On Friday, November 8, this paper ran a report well supported with pictures of the Central Railway’s (CR) new, six-storey administrative building adjacent to platform number 8 of the UN World heritage Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST). The building, which houses offices of top railway department officials, has become a dumping ground for garbage. The pictures show broken furniture, wooden crates and other rubbish lying in corners outside the offices and near an elevator.

This architectural landmark standing next to Mumbai’s iconic structure has been defiled with the presence of rubbish, all because of apathy.
