The mega plan of upgrading the Dadar railway stations on the Western and Central Railway sections has finally got a boost with a deal expected to be signed between a South Korean joint venture and the Indian Railway Station Redevelopment Corporation in the next 10 days. Rahul Shewale, MP from South Central Mumbai, told mid-day that the deal was to be struck on July 10.

"After much delay, the long-pending MoU is expected to be signed soon. The main plan is to construct an elevated pedestrian zone and an underground parking facility with an internal road between the two stations," said Shewale. This is part of the station redevelopment project funded by a South Korean initiative.
