The shutting of a main staircase at Bandra station means it is busi-mess as usual for thousands of commuters using this important halt on their daily commute.
A report in this paper cited how the closure of an east-side exit at Bandra railway station, which connects people to the family court, collector's office, MHADA, ONGC and the BKC business district, caused hardship for thousands of commuters. While authorities have opened a new staircase, they had not cleared the road it leads to, with the Railways and the BMC passing the buck. The impact of this front page report, had led to the road being cleared and potholes being filled.
