3 Dead, 34 Injured As Foot Overbridge Collapses Near Mumbai’s CST
Bridge Collapse in Mumbai: Eyewitnesses near the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus said repairs were being carried out on the overbridge this morning, but it was still being used.
MUMBAI: Three people have died and at least 34 people are injured after a foot overbridge near the landmark Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) railway station in Mumbai collapsed this evening. The collapse at one of the busiest stations in Mumbai took place during peak hours, when there was a lot of rush on the overbridge.
The injured are being shifted to hospitals, the Mumbai Police said. "Foot over bridge connecting CST platform 1 north end with B T Lane near Times of India building has collapsed," the Mumbai Police tweeted.
Eyewitnesses said repairs were being carried out on the overbridge this morning, but it was still being used.
The traffic in the area has been affected. The police have asked commuters to use alternate routes.
"We are trying to decongest the area so as to ensure easy movement of ambulances. That’s all I can say right now," Amitesh Kumar, Joint Commissioner of Police, Traffic, told NDTV over the phone.
Senior officers are also present at the spot.
The CSMT bridge was not part of a safety audit ordered after another foot overbridge had collapsed last year in Andheri. 445 such bridges had to be assessed in a safety audit after last July’s Andheri bridge collapse.
The 40-year-old bridge at the Andheri station had crumpled after heavy rain. Railway Minister Piyush Goyal had then said the Andheri bridge, built in 1971, had a "design flaw".
ine months before that, in 2017, 23 people were killed in a stampede when the Elphinstone Bridge had collapsed.
The Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and serves as the headquarters of the Central Railways.
