During monsoon, Mumbai local commuters have to use umbrellas to avoid getting drenched while waiting for trains at railway stations due to leaking of rooftop at several locations.
Therefore, the Central Railways (CR) has planned to put up a long span roof at Masjid Bunder and Parel stations to make it convenient and bring relief for the passengers from getting wet while boarding the locals.
These structures will be similar to the roof cover at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT). The cover shed is also easier to install as compared to traditional roof-cover sheds available on railway platforms.

As per the Central Railway, the railway tracks and the platforms are closed and temporary arrangements to the railway platforms at Masjid Bunder were made in the past but had failed due to heavy rainfall snipping the roof off.
The structure will be installed in the middle of platforms number three and four at Masjid Bunder railway station and platform number one at Parel railway station. The roof shed of the railway platform will be provided in the middle of the platforms due to the short distance between railway tracks and the railway platform.
Earlier, in the day, a small part of a dilapidated structure which was a private wall in the civil area fell near the railway tracks near Masjid Railway station on Thursday, July 7, morning, stated the Central Railways (CR).
During the block period, suburban services will not be available between CSMT and Wadala Road on the Harbour Line. Owing to this, passengers will be allowed to travel on the mainline via Dadar and Kurla. Further it has been brought to light that the targeted work was completed and train services were re-started on the CSMT-Wadala Harbour line by 4.40 pm on the same day.
