Government Railway Police (GRP) has proposed the Railways for a demarcated walkway on every platform of railway stations.
Government Railway Police (GRP)u00a0has proposed the Railways for a demarcated walkway on every platform of railway stations.
Ifu00a0the proposal is accepted, boarding trains will soon be easier for commuters, as people waiting on platforms will not come in the way of those actually moving into trains, the GRP said to Mumbai Mirror.
The proposal came up after many commuters complained about restricted movement on crowded platforms. Bharat Rane, Senior Inspector with GRP, Mumbai Central says, "Most of these complainants were women commuters. The ladies' compartments have specific positions on each train and demarcated places when they stop on platforms. During rush hour, women have a tough time reaching them."
