Kurla bridge shutdown causes chaos and angst amongst commuters

Mornings are not a good time for the people travelling from or to Kurla station as two bridges are shut, which is leading to panic and confusion amongst the commuters. The cause of this confusion was attributed to inadequate preparedness and inability to give prior notice to the public.

People have taken to ‘Twitter’, the social networking website, to express their anger and displeasure.






However, by the time of the evening rush hour, some order was restored on Tuesday after the Central Railway GM and the local Assistant Municipal Commissioner got involved with this situation. The work is still ongoing and the commuters still have to go through a lot of trouble.

The Kurla station has been in the news for all the wrong reasons lately. Last month, a video had gone viral about a food stall vendor preparing lemon juice with a very unhygienic manner. That forced the Central Railway to seal the food stall.

With foot-over-bridges being a major concern for the railways and the BMC, regular maintenance and strengthening of bridges all over the city is a must.
