WR vows to end Borivili-Virar track quadrupling by end of June
Thursday, June 07 The Western Railway (WR) assured the Bombay High Court that the quadrupling of the tracks between Borivili and Virar stations here will be completed by June 30. The PIL, filed more than a year ago, highlighted the difficulties of commuters while travelling from the north western suburbs towards South Mumbai due to heavy crowds and limited train services.
The lawyer for Western Railway told the court that the track expansion work was in progress and would be completed by the month-end.
IMO: I hope this agreed schedule will be maintained. Work seems to have proceeded well till the end of the megablock.
Pre-monsoon showers around here seem to be light, some light rainfall on May 31 around Vasai station etc and there are hopes of few dengue cases around Vasai at this time of the year.
According to the Express, one visit to Pachori and Vadavli gaons in Vasai is enough for one to understand why these areas are considered to be trouble spots for the health officials during the monsoon. Residents in this area face consistent water problems and a “large number of larvae” that breed in flower pots, water tanks and the backyards have been detected in their houses. three cases of suspected dengue were recorded here. Last year, seven persons died due to dengue in the area during the monsoons.
