The relocation of the Government Railway Police (GRP) station from Dadar’s Platform 9 to a newly constructed building has finally cleared the way for long-awaited upgrades at the overcrowded junction. With the shift complete, the old GRP office on Platform 9A will now be demolished, allowing Central Railway to widen the congested platform, add a new staircase, and create more circulating space for commuters.

“The move is expected to significantly ease crowding at one of Mumbai’s busiest railway hubs, improving passenger circulation and safety. The cleared space will also allow smoother integration with future plans, including better platform access and an elevated deck to manage peak-hour rush. This marks a key milestone in Dadar station’s decongestion project,” a railway official said.
