Army to help build footover bridge at Elphinstone station where 23 were killed in stampede

The Army will help build a new foot overbridge at the Elphinstone Road station, chief minister Devendra Fadnavis said on Tuesday as Union ministers Nirmala Sitharaman and Piyush Goyal visited the station, where a deadly stampede took place last month.

Fadnavis, who accompanied Sitharaman and railway minister Goyal, said the Army will also help in building foot-over bridges at two other stations here.

Twenty-three people were killed in a stampede on the Elphinstone Road station foot overbridge (FOB) last month.

“We are taking the Army’s help in building a new FOB at the Elphinstone Road station and at two other suburban train stations in Mumbai,” Fadnavis said at the venue.

 
 

“I have been informed that the work on these bridges will be completed by January 31,” he said.

After the stampede on September 29, railway officials posted police personnel to manage the crowd on busy platforms, evicted hawkers from suburban train stations and started speeding up infrastructure projects on suburban network.
