DR. KIRIT SOMAIYA (MUMBAI NORTH EAST): After Elphinstone foot-over-bridge tragedy, Railways has taken up structural audit of all foot over bridges and road over bridges across the Railway lines in Mumbai region. One more accident of Andheri Road over bridge footpath has once again raised the issue of strength, maintenance, repairs, monitoring, authority about the responsibility foot-over-bridges and road over bridges across the Railway lines in Mumbai region. Multiple authorities have created grey areas. There is a need to evolve the concept of monitoring and accountability. There is also a need to make public the outcome of structural audit taken up after Elphinstone incident and Andheri incident. Measures are required to be taken by Railways, Mumbai Municipal Corporation and Government of Maharashtra in this regard.
