The Bombay High Court on Wednesday saw that the CSMT over bridge fell because of the absence of coordination between the two experts associated with the issue – the civic body and the railroads. The court likewise asked how something like this could happen when the concerned experts claimed to have led structural audits.
Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) says to drop the project of the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train, which is a joint endeavor between India and Japan. NCP says that the money being spent on the bullet-train project ought to be utilized to upgrade rural railroad facilities in the city and its encompassing zones. This is being said after a part of a foot over bridge, associated with the iconic Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) in south Mumbai collapsed, March 14, 2019, slaughtering 6 individuals and injuring 31.
They say that the prime worry of the legislature ought to be an improvement of railroad facilities. Simply accusing authorities isn’t an answer. We request that the bullet train venture is dropped since it is simply a hotshot venture and a misuse of tax-payers money.
“Particular review and quick upkeep are expected of dilapidated bridges, a few 50-70 years of age, over railroad tracks in Mumbai and rural zones,” he said against the setting of the scaffold breakdown. He asserted more than 200 railroad related mishaps happen every day, which either cause loss of lives or wounds to suburbanites.
Shocking information is that, that an audit of the bridge was done a year ago, which demanded to have some minor repairs but were unable as money for the same was never sanctioned. This clearly shows the irresponsibility done by BMC which are just playing with human’s life.
