Days after this paper reported the dangerous scenes of the Ghatkopar station and the commuters’ demand to speed up the upgradation project, the MRVC on Monday said they have expedited the construction on the east side, where the Metro station is located. They have set a deadline of December 2023 to have this section up and running. 

Officials of the Mumbai Railway Vikas Corporation (MRVC) said they are building a 75-metre-long and 12-metre-wide foot overbridge, and a 45-metre-long east deck under trespass control works of Mumbai Urban Transport Project-III, on the east side. It said the aim is to open these for public by December 2023.
