Parel Workshop Shut Down Plan Of Central Railway-RTI

Mumbai: Central Railway  is planning to shut down parel workshop and converting it to railway terminus . RTI information disclosed that it is in initial stage . The authorities are planning to shift more than 2500 employees in other workshop. Major mechanical job will be shifted to Ajmer . This step will kill employment in Mumbai and local factories will also suffer. If such huge workshop will be shifted then where the huge number of coaches will get repaired? Other workshops at Mumbai division have no such capacities and they have lack of space. This work will be done 1500km away from Mumbai which will increase cost and time. Railway should request State government to get space for Rail Terminus near Dadar. Till now railway board has not issued circular.
