With the completion of the busy Dadar platform widening, the next step is to convert the fast train platforms 10/11 into a double discharge platform. This will allow commuters to board local trains from either side, easing congestion on the existing platform. The goal is to optimise existing resources for maximum efficiency. Following a series of articles by mid-day highlighting the railway police`s struggle in managing crowds at the narrow slow line platforms in Central Railway Dadar, CR`s Mumbai Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) Rajneesh Goyal not only promised to widen the platform but also devised a master plan to expand the station, creating more space for passengers, including additional platforms.
