The Western Railway has begun the process of pulling down two old platforms at Mahim railway station to make way for the new 5th and 6th lines to segregate national trains. “Two old platforms at Mahim station that were not in use are being pulled down. One was for up fast trains but trains do not halt there at present, and the other is an old harbour line platform, which has been out of use after a new one was constructed a few years ago. The cost of the work is Rs 918.53 crore and is set to be completed by March 2024.
