CSMT Platform 18 to Close for Redevelopment
Platform 18 at Mumbai's CSMT train station will close for about two months starting October 1.
This is because they are rebuilding the station.
Workers need to build a new platform to improve the station.
During this time, the trains that usually use platform 18 will go to other platforms.
The station is working on making the station more modern and easier for everyone to use, but it will take time to complete.
CSMT Platform 18 in Mumbai will be shut down starting October 1 for about two months.
The closure is part of the ₹2,450-crore CSMT Redevelopment Project.
Platform 18 handles premium long-distance trains.
The closure is needed for piling and foundation work for a new elevated passenger deck.
Long-distance trains will shift to other platforms during the closure.
