Motorists wait for trains to pass; trains wait for motorists to clear the crossing. This occurs more than 40 times a day, causing delays in suburban and national train traffic.

The reason behind this daily mess is a complete lack of planning and coordination between agencies. The road overbridge (ROB) at Diva, intended to eliminate the level crossing, is structurally ready across the railway tracks; however, without land for its approaches on either side, the multi-crore project remains useless. And this is not the only such case, said our report.
