The Western Railway began installing a three-metre-high railing along a 150-metre stretch near Garib Nagar in Bandra East to prevent garbage dumping and trespassing on railway tracks.
Our report stated how the fencing covering 37 route metres has been completed, and planned progress. Bandra East has long been a dense slum pocket along the railway tracks, posing safety concerns for train operations. Authorities have been working to prevent the expansion of multi-storey slum structures near the operational lines. As a safety measure, several entry and exit points to the Bandra Terminus are already restricted.
