With the railway budget set to be announced on Monday along with the general budget, city commuter associations and other stakeholders have prepared a wish list for the upcoming year.
“The wish list is simple. Instead of announcing new projects and earmarking money for them, the focus should be on completing existing projects that have been stuck. There should be a focus on making Mumbai an independent zone, create new stations like Guravli so that they can help passengers beyond Kalyan, where stations are far away,” Nandkumar Deshmukh, president of Federation of Suburban Passengers Association said.
