Post-rains, WR focuses on Vasai, Matunga Road stretches

MUMBAI: Two months after waterlogging due to heavy rains disrupted train services on the Western Railway (WR), the administration has got to work to prevent a repeat of what happened in August and September this year.

Two stations are in focus – Matunga Road and Vasai – where tracks were submerged during heavy downpours. Railway tracks will be raised along the Dadar-Matunga Road- Mahim stretch, by 120-150mm, according to railway officials. “We have begun raising the tracks by 60mm at stretches near Matunga Road,” said an official.
