Western Railway Removes 28 Encroachments At Ram Mandir

Western Railway has removed 28 encroachments from its land on the eastern side of Ram Mandir station.

This demolition drive was carried out with support from the Railway Protection Force, city police, and other railway departments.

The action is part of the railway's efforts to clear land required for infrastructure projects aimed at improving the capacity of Mumbai's suburban rail network.

The Borivali–Virar fifth and sixth line project is aimed at expanding the capacity of the suburban railway network on the Western Railway corridor.

A railway official said inspections are also underway at other sensitive locations in Mumbai and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region to identify encroachments on railway land.
