Infrastructure -unnecssary works at cost of passenger safety

At present makeover of western railway -Churchgate station is going on. All unncessary works like external facade, too smooth flooring (which will facilitate falling of hurried passengers. extravagant finishes in toilets, which is impossible to maintain) are being done. Providing hanging dust bins of plastic with see through window (probably for security reasons, but hte bins won't last for 2 months few have started falling within week of fixing) However many important works like raising of platforms, ensuring effective dipersal foul smell emmitting out of toilet, stopping leakage on external facade on WR headqueter side of the same buidling are being ignored. It seems WR is doing all works it should not do and tax payers money is being wested.

The present kotah floor is being removed by using compressors, the new floor will definately come out at places before its first birthday, besides causing many accidents, as people will spit on them, it will be litterd, wetness from toliet block/subway will be carried to passge even in summer not to think of condition in rainy season.

Question is what layman can understand or think is not forseen by the authorities concerned. The granite slabs provided to columns all along the platform No. 3/4 have come out at number of places in two years time, the quality railway can deliver is eveident the way their own querters all along the railway line they are reapired and painted every year but look like slum colonies at any point of time, even on next day they are painted. Why they want to ruin existing good things by providing substandard one?

Will the autorities take a serious view and stop these decorative works?
