CR, BMC should come up with solution for FoB construction: HC

November 10, 2017 16:11

The Bombay High Court today said the Central Railways and the BMC should soon come up with a solution for the construction of a foot overbridge (FoB) in Byculla, saying the common man could not be expected to suffer.

The court was hearing a PIL filed by a city resident which said ever since the Hancock Bridge was demolished in November 2015, pedestrians and suburban rail commuters had no option but to cross the tracks between Sandhurst road and Byculla stations to reach either side.

The plea highlighted the rise in instances of deaths of pedestrians and rail passengers, who were forced to walk across the railway tracks at Sandhurst road in the absence of an alternate bridge. -- PTI
