CIDCO has built a network of suburban lines in Navi Mumbai with the help of Indian Railways to connect every part of the city to Mumbai

The City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) of Maharashtra has set up a special committee to review and improve passenger facilities at the suburban railway stations in Navi Mumbai. CIDCO Vice Chairman and Managing Director Dr Sanjay Mukherjee has set up the committee, an official release said on Wednesday. The committee is headed by CIDCO's Joint MD and has five members.

"Suburban railways are a vital part of the fast-paced life of Navi Mumbai. CIDCO has always emphasized the importance of an efficient suburban railway system in the region. A special committee has been set up to provide more facilities to the passengers at the stations, which will make their journey a better experience," Mukherjee said in the statement.

The CIDCO has built a network of suburban railway lines in Navi Mumbai with the help of Railways to connect every part of the city to Mumbai. The railway stations in Navi Mumbai have many unique features that allow them to stand out from the regular suburban stations. Spacious platforms on both sides of the train, a magnificent forecourt area, and commercial complexes are some of the features of these stations, it said.

The CIDCO looks after the maintenance of all the railway stations in Navi Mumbai, except that of the Seawoods Darave station, the statement said. The newly-formed panel comprises CIDCO Chief Engineer (Navi Mumbai International Airport), its Superintending Engineer (Palghar and Town Planning-1), who will be its member secretary, Marketing Manager (Commercial) (member), Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation representative (member) and the Indian Railways' representative (member). The committee will visit the railway stations in Navi Mumbai in the next 15 days to review and study the scope of the work.
