With the demolition of old railway buildings and the clearing of land at the congested Prabhadevi station, over 1,600 square metres of open space have been created. This marks a significant improvement at the once overcrowded station, where a stampede had previously occurred. The completed demolition of old railway quarters also paves the way for a permanent solution to issues like water-logging and seepage during the monsoon season.

The complaints have been that the entry and exit to the railway station has been through a narrow road that led to the staircase of the three bridges connecting Prabhadevi and Parel stations. With new open spaces created, the problem has been sorted once and for all.
