After mid-day highlighted the issues posed by make-shift toilet blocks along Ram Mandir railway station road, WR removed all the offending structures. Commuters, on Tuesday, thanked this newspaper for helping resolve the long-standing issue.
 
Rupak Dhakate, 34, who works as an HR professional at Lotus Corporate Park, said, “Thank you, mid-day, for highlighting this issue. My office is near the station. Every day, I take the access road, alongside thousands of other office-goers. Earlier, there were no toilets along the stretch. Since 2022, many toilets have sprung up. Despite leakage issues, no clean-up happened. Pedestrians had to tread on wet roads where filth from toilets had accumulated, as there is no proper drainage system. Since Friday, the authorities have been acting. Today [Tuesday], all toilets were removed and no office-goers were inconvenienced.”
