New Delhi:
The Central Railway has decided to dismantle foot overbridges (FOBs) at Bhandup, Kurla, Vikhroli, Diva and Kalyan junction stations in Mumbai days after a foot overbridge collapsed near the CST station that claimed lives of six people. The Central Railways had floated a tender to distmantle the foot overbridges earlier.
On March 15, civic body authorities brought down the remaining part of the CST FOB, a major portion of which had collapsed on March 14 evening. Civic officials, however, did not dismantle the ramp of the bridge on the Times of India building side, indicating a new bridge may be built for the convenience of passengers.
The ill-fated bridge in South Mumbai connected the area near the Times of India building with the iconic Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) station.
