Recently, this newspaper carried a report about how a 48-year-old woman had a nasty fall at Andheri station, thanks to a cement heap on the platform. Swept along by the crowd, the commuter was unable to spot the heap of solidified cement and she tripped on it, tearing the ligament in her hand. The woman has been recuperating at home, forced to miss work and spent at least Rs 20,000 on her treatment.

Another citizen, Dominic Fernandes, suffered a similar injury because of a cement mound at Marine Lines. Though he did not suffer a serious injury, he hurt his knees and shin. The platform was not level in both cases.
