Arzan & Kharad, I inquired today and heres what i found out. Bombay high court has imposed a ban on sand mining activity in this area. Old timers would know there used to be lot of activity with trucks moving in and out. The presence of police is...

Kharad, you are right that policemen in uniform/non - uniform clothes are there to avoid smuggling by using the water channel. There were lots of such cases and now a police chowki has come up. Yes, its due to security/safety reasons that they are...

@Vimalkar Sir, this is Vaitarna on the BCT-BRC section, and yes it does have Automatic Signalling in force.

@Arzan, the presence of policemen/RPF in uniform/plain clothes could be due to smuggling by using the water channel. Again, possibly...

Arzan, its a sad development indeed. RLYs usually put up prohibitary notices if they don't want anybody clicking pics (& we railfans respect that). I don't think this is the case at Vaitarna. But as you say the cops were not from RPF makes me believe...

Excellent picture. Anant you have done railfanning at Vaitarna hillock before it was too late. Please note that if anyone doing video/photo capture from Vaitarna hillock will be caught by the police who are patrolling the bridge. These are not RPF's....

Nice capture. Where is this location and is there an automatic signalling system in force in this area?
