The Western Railways (WR) on Tuesday, April 25, successfully carried out the work of removing operational constraints related to track and points at Borivali.
With this, the punctuality of Virar-bound local trains will be enhanced as the route between Dahisar and Borivali stations will clear faster.
This development came after the railways received several complaints by commuters of delayed trains frequently. Also, Railways aim to improve mobility as well as enhance safety and speed.
