What can be done at jam-packed Ghatkopar station? New parallel elevated decks, instant disruption alerts, holding spaces, and redirecting commuter flow are among the key outcomes of a crucial intervention meeting held between the Metro Blue Line 1 and Central Railway teams last week.

Railway Board Chairman Satish Kumar, during his visit to Ghatkopar station, told mid-day that work was “progressing expeditiously” and that one of three planned concourses was already complete, with the other two underway. He added that night shifts were the only viable option due to operational constraints.
