A riot of colour at Mahim station is expressing what every Mumbaikar is thankful for: the efforts of essential service providers in the face of rising COVID-19 cases. The large, continuous set of murals titled, ‘Heroes of Mumbai’ have been painted on the façade of Mahim railway station as an initiative of Western Railway (WR) in association with the ST+ART India Foundation and Asian Paints. The boundary was in a dilapidated condition and was repaired, after which it was decided to undertake the beautification of the station. Chief public relations officer of WR, Ravinder Bhakar said the ‘Heroes of Mumbai’ Project at Mahim station not only enhances its beauty but is also a unique way to express solidarity with, and gratitude to, COVID-19 warriors. “We look forward to many more such beautification drives across various suburban stations of Western Railway,” he said.
