Ceiling part collapses at Mumbai CSMT's outstation train terminus, two passengers injured. Is it shoddy work by RLDA that is leading to this? Dear Minister @AshwiniVaishnaw - The Rail Land Development Authority (RLDA) in Mumbai is doing more damage than development. There have been multiple such instances. Need to keep a check on them.
The note- Collapse of Ceiling Portion near Booking Hall Entrance at CSMT on 22.10.2026. RLDA work was being carried out.
At approximately 10:05pm on 22.10.2026, a portion of the ceiling near the Booking Hall entrance at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) collapsed, resulting in injuries to two passengers.
The affected ceiling portion pertains to RLDA (Rail Land Development Authority) work.
The injured passengers, whose details are as follows:
1. Shri Vinayak Balu Hatkar (28 years): Sustained a 3–4 cm lacerated wound over the right parietal region of the scalp, which had been sutured.
2. Shri Ayan Naushad Matwankar (24 years): Sustained a lacerated wound over the left upper eyelid, abrasions over the right scapular region and neck, and pain and swelling in the right ankle.
