Being a major hub of the city, the Kalyan railway station remains crowded almost all times of the day. In a major step to decongest the station, General Manager D K Sharma, who visited platforms four and five last week, has directed the Mumbai division to relocate all the offices on both the platforms.

Speaking to mid-day, Dr Ashok Kumar Singh, Central Railway spokesperson, said, "There are offices across the length of platforms four and five. This restricts free movement of passengers. General Manager Sharma said that the offices should be shifted to some other place on the premises. The Mumbai division will soon start the process of shifting the offices either to the eastern or western side of the station's circulating area as per availability of space."
