Mumbai, Feb 09: The Railway Protection Force (RPF), Mumbai division, has demolished an encroachment that had appeared on railway land outside Tilak Nagar station on the Mumbai suburban railway’s Harbour line, following a message from a commuter on the micro-blogging site X.

Complaint flagged on social media

After the message — which was also addressed to the Railway Ministry and Central Railway’s Mumbai division — the railways forwarded the complaint to the RPF.

Encroached site secured

In its reply, the RPF Mumbai division stated that the encroached site has since been cleared, covered and secured. The RPF added that it has coordinated with the engineering department to prevent further encroachment.
