Sitting at the edge of the Thal Ghat near Kasara, a small but significant piece of the rail jigsaw puzzle is finally in readiness, filling the critical gap, easing train operations, and adding some relief to the Kalyan-Kasara belt commuters.

A new 13.53-km third line between Kasara and Khardi is set to be electrified on May 12, following which the train operations will begin after statutory clearances from the Commissioner of Railway Safety (CRS). This line will be useful to segregate the suburban and mail express trains at the crucial Kasara point.
