Work on the much-awaited up-gradation of Ghatkopar railway station will finally kick-start within a month. It will be completed with a set deadline to solve the issue of congestion and crowding at the station.
Ghatkopar is an important junction station since it sees a large number of footfalls due to integration with Mumbai Metro Line 1.
Member of Parliament from Mumbai north east Manoj Kotak on Tuesday called on senior railway officials to take an update of the status of Ghatkopar station, road overbridges at Vidyavihar, Vikhroli, and Nahur, and several other works.
“I met Mumbai divisional railway manager Shalabh Goel at the Central Railway head office and was assured that work on the elevated deck and related upgrade of Ghatkopar station will begin by April 30. I also took an update on works of other projects, including road over bridges,” Kotak told a publication.
The deck and upgrade of Ghatkopar station is part of the Rs 950 crore project to upgrade 19 stations on the Mumbai suburban railway.
