Platform 9 to get major upgrade; GRP station to be relocated, toilet block to be removed and a new deck to be added

Dadar’s platform number 9
The Dadar railway station work, triggered by a mid-day report, is now entering phase two. Here are the details of the plan: With the widening of the narrow platform and the completion of the double discharge, the next phase involves widening the existing platform nine and adding a deck above it. This will also require the relocation of the GRP police station on the platform.
Following a series of articles by mid-day highlighting the railway police’s struggle to manage the crowd at the slow line platforms at Central Railway Dadar’s narrow platform, CR’s Mumbai Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) Rajneesh Goyal promised not only to widen the platform but also to create a master plan for the station to increase space for passengers, including other platforms.
