Over the past three months, mid-day reported three serious issues that posed a threat to commuters and also caused great inconvenience. Finally, the Railways has addressed all the concerns. The hazardous rods at Kalwa station have been removed, work on levelling Sandhurst Road station platform is nearing completion and work on escalators at Mumbra station has also begun.
 
On February 10, mid-day reported about rods jutting out of the staircase and from the metal sheets at the edge of platforms, posing a grievous threat to commuters. The report also pointed out the possible misuse of stairs built on either side of platform no. 3. Commuters could have seen that as an opportunity to easily cross the tracks, risking their lives. Central Railway teams moved quickly and removed all the rods protruding near platforms and under the staircase, and levelled the surfaces. The stairs have also been demolished.
