Four Foot Overbridges at Masjid and Matunga Stations Closed Ahead of Ganpati Festival
Four foot overbridges at Mumbai's Masjid and Matunga stations will be closed following structural audits by IIT Bombay that found deterioration and corrosion in critical components. The Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai and Central Railway jointly inspected the bridges, leading to recommendations for immediate closure and eventual reconstruction. The closures, effective during the upcoming 12-day Ganpati festival, aim to prevent accidents amid increased pedestrian traffic. Authorities have urged public cooperation for safety reasons.
