A new police station building at Dadar station is almost ready, but the Government Railway Police (GRP) is waiting for a handover of the structure from Central Railway (CR). Once done, it will pave the way for open space for commuters at the station. Inside the building are half-completed rooms and cabins, and tiles lying scattered with approaches inaccessible for now.

“There had been umpteen follow-ups for a handover so that we could inaugurate the building in January, then April and even now. But every time we approach CR, we are pointed towards a new department. The building is ready, but being a police station, certain infrastructure has to be in place to start with. We understand how the relocation of the old police station will help improve the station and reduce congestion. We appeal to Railways to complete and hand over the building to us as soon as possible,” Ravindra Shisve, commissioner, Government Railway Police, Mumbai, said.
