Clear and away! Acting on a mid-day report, the Western Railway has shut and sealed four large stalls on the narrow Prabhadevi platform. The stalls will eventually be removed to create more space for commuter movement. The WR has also posted police and RPF staff to monitor crowds on the foot over bridge during rush hour.
The October 24 mid-day report highlighted the limited circulation area for commuters at the crowded Prabhadevi station, where the island platform was occupied by 16 structures and stalls of various shapes and sizes, including container rooms, canteens, fruit juice stalls, water dispensers, and office rooms, leaving little space for commuters. Of the six stalls, four have been closed with immediate effect.
