Mumbai: Nalasopara Station Gets A New Elevated Deck, Know More

Last Updated: Nalasopara is just one of 17 suburban stations being redeveloped under the Rs 947 crore MUTP 3A project. The Mumbai Railway Vikas Corporation (MRVC) has completed a new 95-metre long and 11.5-metre wide elevated deck at Platform Number One of Nalasopara station. This elevated walkway connects the two southernmost foot overbridges (FOBs), helping reduce crowding and easing the flow of passengers. Handling over 1.83 lakh passengers and 440 suburban trains every day, Nalasopara is one of the busiest stations on Mumbai's Western Line. The new deck is expected to improve safety and comfort for commuters. What's Next for the Station? This project is part of a larger station improvement plan under the Mumbai Urban Transport Project (MUTP) 3A. The redevelopment of Nalasopara will continue with the construction of another elevated deck connecting all platforms, a new platform on the western side, four more escalators and three lifts. As per Mumbai Live, Sunil G Udasi, Chief Public Relations Officer of MRVC, said, 'This is a big step towards reimagining Mumbai's suburban railway experience. We're not just reducing congestion, but also building safer and more accessible stations for all." Nalasopara is just one of 17 stations being redeveloped under MUTP 3A, which has a total budget of Rs 947 crore. Seven stations on the Western Line, including Kandivali, Mira Road, Bhayander and Vasai, are also being upgraded. Meanwhile, ten stations on the Central and Harbour lines are undergoing similar changes. What Will Improve for Commuters? Under MUTP 3A, all revamped stations will get better entry and exit points, brighter lighting, modern ticket counters, improved security, new FOBs, lifts, and escalators. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Andrean's Charlie Sollars loves ‘that adrenaline rush.' Just wait until the state championship game.

If the Class 3A state championship game is on the line on Friday, Andrean senior outfielder Charlie Sollars wants to be the one at the plate. The Lincoln Trail commit doesn't shy away from those high-pressure moments. He embraces them. 'I just love to compete,' Sollars said. 'That pressure you have sometimes when the bases are loaded and there's a 3-2 count … I love the feeling of that adrenaline rush.' Sollars could get his chance when the 59ers (30-3), who are ranked No. 1 in the 3A state coaches poll, play No. 7 Jasper (28-6) at Victory Field in Indianapolis at 7 p.m. Friday. They will try to win their ninth state title and first since 2022. Although Sollars pitched earlier this season, he has made most of his impact with his bat. He's hitting .357 with six doubles, one home run, a team-high 36 RBIs, 38 runs scored and 12 steals. Sollars was in the cleanup spot during Andrean's 4-0 win over NorthWood in the LaPorte Semistate championship game on Saturday. 'He's been a consistent offensive player the whole year,' Andrean coach Dave Pishkur said. 'He's a competitor, and he likes the moment, whatever that moment may be.' Sollars has had plenty of moments like that during his high school career, which included time as an outside linebacker on Andrean's football team. He had 71 tackles and two interceptions for the 2A semistate runner-up last season. Pishkur said Sollars sometimes approaches baseball like he's on a football field. 'You'd expect him, being a linebacker, to take some of that mentality onto the baseball field,' Pishkur said. 'He doesn't do it in baseball because it's a different sport, but in football he's a talker. If he makes a tackle, he might say something to you as well.' Sollars noted that he doesn't have as many opportunities to talk like that because he's in the outfield for half of the game. 'Football's a much more emotional sport,' he said. 'Baseball is more of a mental battle, so you try to keep your emotions to a minimum.' It can be a different story during practices, however. Sollars takes advantage of opportunities to be heard by his teammates. 'Any way to create competition in practice is a good thing,' he said. Andrean senior catcher Blake Kouder said Sollars has a knack for making practices feel like game situations. 'He can get on your nerves for sure,' Kouder said with a laugh. 'There's no harm intended with it, but sometimes during practices it can be hard to find that competition, so he just implements it himself.' Sollars implemented that in the weight room during the offseason too. 'It's more about flexibility rather than just heavy lifting,' he said. 'Instead of getting on the bench press and trying to lift as much as you can, it's about explosive movements and power, moving the weights as fast as I can to build up the smaller, faster-twitch muscles for baseball.' Kouder said Sollars savors any chance to compete. 'It just comes with his personality,' Kouder said. 'He's not a guy who's going to stand down to anybody. He's just competing with the guy on the mound, and he's not going to let them beat him.'

The Western junior led the Panthers (28-4) to a semistate runner-up finish, batting .659 with 56 hits, 53 RBIs and 59 runs scored. Her collection of hits included 21 homers, eight triples and 15 doubles, and she also stole 18 bases and posted a .937 fielding percentage on 79 chances with two double plays.

'Brynley is an absolute stud,' West Lafayette coach Chauncey Fry said. 'She's as good as I've seen in my 13-year coaching career at the plate, in the field and on the bases. She has the speed, bat and defense to compete with anyone in the country.' Erb has maintained a 3.31 GPA in the classroom, and volunteers locally for the Western concession stand during sporting events, and as a youth softball and volleyball coach. The Gatorade Player of the Year program annually recognizes one winner in the District of Columbia and each of the 50 states across 12 different high school sports and awards one National Player of the Year in each sport. The selection process is administered by the Gatorade Player of the Year Selection Committee, which leverages experts including coaches, scouts, media and others as sources to help evaluate and determine the state winners in each sport. Recent Indiana recipients include Tri-West's Audrey Lowry (2024), Roncalli's Keagan Rothrock (2021, 22, 23) and Bremens's Erin Coffel. As part of Gatorade's commitment to breaking down barriers in sport, every Player of the Year also receives a grant to donate to a social impact partner. To date, the Gatorade Player of the Year program has provided more than $5.6 million in grants to winners across more than 2,000 organizations.
