Follow Western Railway's directions to avoid another Elphinstone Stampede

Lower Parel station

The WR has made special arrangements for regulating movement of passengers on railway premises and for those using the FOB connected to the Delisle ROB at Lower Parel station, especially during the morning peak hours (7 am to 12 pm) and evening peak hours (4 pm to 9 pm).

The new plan for traffic movement at Lower Parel station has been implemented with effect from 4 pm on Tuesday. Security personnel from RPF as well as GRP have been deputed at various locations for crowd management and smooth dispersal to avoid overcrowding.

The diversions
During the morning and evening peak hours, commuters will be diverted to both middle and Dadar-end FOBs.

On the Dadar-end FOB, commuters will be diverted to both Dadar- and Churchgate-end staircases.
Movement of reverse traffic will be only through the middle FOB from east to west during evening peak hours and west to east during morning peak hours.
