Multiple leakages inside the tunnel through which water spurts onto passing trains and its ceiling is crackedThe Parsik tunnel finds itself in a precarious condition because of the slums that have mushroomed on it. The Central Railway (CR) plans to start repairs soon. Earlier this week, the Bombay High Court came down heavily on the Central Railway and Thane Municipal Corporation over their failure to undertake steps to repair the Parsik tunnel. They also lowered tracks inside the Parsik tunnel and also put speed restrictions. There is also a proposal to construct Parsik railway station to cater the seven lakh commuters regularly use CR trains between Thane and Dombivli.
