The Western Railway is augmenting civic amenities on platforms in the Mumbai division with an investment of Rs 2206 crore. The augmentation is majorly focused on making the stations more accessible for persons with disabilities with over Rs 11 crore to create more accessible infrastructure, stated a Western Railway communique.

According to Chief Public Relations Officer Vineet Abhishek, the monies would be utilised to create ramps and railings at important stations, allowing wheelchair users and passengers with mobility impairments to move around more easily. Specially built restrooms, drinking water booths, and allocated parking spaces near station entrances will also be available. Braille signs and tactile walkways will be installed in 39 stations to help visually challenged travellers. In addition, 86 wheelchairs are accessible at non-suburban stations, with one wheelchair on each platform at suburban stations.
