Dombivli station this morning
Morning rush-hour commuters on Central Railway complained of poor arrangements as Central Railway shut down services between Kalyan and Dombivli for a few hours to put up girders of a new bridge at Thakurli. However, according to the latest updates, special trains cleared the morning rush and the position is normal now.
"There were no special services as promised and trains came at long intervals with crowds swelling at stations like Dombivli, Diva and Thane stations," commuter Mandar Abhyankar said.
