Revamping Of Mumbai's Railway Stations

The proposal to construct Western-style railway stations in Mumbai sounds very alluring.The state of infrastructure in some of our railway stations is absolutely pathetic.The citizens too need to shoulder some blame for this. Pragmatic commercial use of the rail land can go a long way in making the railways a financially self-sustaining unit.The thought of swanky malls and other commercial establishments in Mumbai's railway stations that will make the stations appear modern, developed and in sync with today's world is fascinating.It is a praiseworthy but ambitious proposal which needs strong-willed backing from the state political class and the railway authorities.If the proposal is accepted, it is Mumbai's image which will get a boost.
