Water dripping from elevated toilet blocks above the ticket booking offices at Masjid Bunder station has been falling directly onto passing local trains, leaving commuters angry and soaked. Passengers said the dripping water soiled clothes, especially those of people forced to stand at the footboard due to overcrowding. When mid-day visited the station on two consecutive days, it found water dripping intermittently onto trains running on the CSMT-bound harbour line, affecting commuters during peak hours.
Passengers said such incidents highlight poor maintenance and lack of routine inspections, raising serious questions about accountability until an accident or injury occurs.
