I would like to highlight the pathetic condition of Vashi Railway station like light arrangements on the platform, fans and roof. Vashi is supposed to be the gateway of New Bombay and the station building as such has really been constructed very well.

But I am sorry to say that the light arrangements takes away the charm of such a beautiful structure.

First of all, the yellow lamps caste very minimal light reflection casting a very dull, lazy and bizarre look. Secondly, the lower panel of the light along the staircases are hardly functional making even the simple walk along it very difficult not only to the elderly people but also to a person with normal vision. Also noticeable is the noisy fans; some of them do not function when one needs them the most. Not to forget is the rain water which pours on the heads of the commuters standing on the platform!

Is there anybody to look after the maintenance part of the Vashi station of Navi Mumbai , to which we fondly refer as "the city of 21st century"!
