Find out how the Central Railway mega block is causing disruptions in Mumbai's train services!

Mumbai's bustling local train services are set to face major disruptions as Central Railway gears up for a 63-hour mega block.

Platform extension works are vital for the efficient functioning of the railway system, ensuring better connectivity and improved services for passengers. Despite the challenges, the upgrade projects highlight the commitment to enhancing the city's transport infrastructure.

Interesting Fact: The 63-hour mega block marks one of the longest maintenance periods undertaken by Central Railway in recent times. This ambitious initiative showcases the dedication towards improving the railway network and accommodating the growing needs of commuters in Mumbai. Additionally, the platform extension and widening projects aim to modernize and optimize the existing infrastructure for a more seamless travel experience in the bustling city of Mumbai.
