Therefore, the former sarpanch of Bokadvira Gram Panchayat Hemlata Patil has made a demand to CIDCO for the route towards the village. In both Nhava Sheva (Navghar) and Shemtikhar (Ranjanpada) stations, passengers have to climb the stairs to reach the platform. So seniors, women, and children are suffering from this. Escalator work is incomplete in this station.
