Safety lapses flagged by mid-day at the Borivali-Gorai jetty last week have now been addressed by the Maharashtra Maritime Board (MMB). With work on the jetty extension underway, locals had earlier pointed out several issues, including the absence of safety personnel for crowd control and restricted movement due to cranes and construction equipment. However, regular commuters say these concerns have now largely been resolved.

Commuters speak

Samuel D’Souza, commuter, said, “Over the past week, there has been a clear improvement. When I visited two-three days ago, safety in-charges were present and ensuring that trips were not overcrowded with passengers or vehicles. On Sunday morning, around 4-5 am, saw workers removing the crane.”
