Konkan Railway — Shabby state of Thivim Platform

Address:

Mumbai City, Maharashtra

Platform no1 at Thivim is in a shocking state for commuters. While the concrete slabs are loose and not cemented, the un even surface makes it difficult to wheel trolley bags to the coach. One can imagine the plight of senior citizens as they have to physically carry their luggage as the platform is not suitable for wheeling luggage. I myself found it extremely inconvenient to move to my coach position. While I understand that renovation work is going on, that is no excuse for the state of the platform. We as citizens expect a fully tiled platform to make boarding /alighting at Thivim a comfortable experience. May I add this state of the platform is for the last couple of years (I am a regular traveller) M. de souza
