Mumbai:[/B said:Five months after 23 people died in a stampede at suburban Elphinstone Road railway station, a new Foot Over Bridge (FOB) constructed by the Indian Army was thrown open to the public on Tuesday.
Two FoBs at Currey Road and Ambivli stations on Central Railway were also inaugurated in presence of railway minister Piyush Goyal, minister of state for defence Subhash Bhamre, and Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis. The FoBs were constructed by the Army Engineers in a record 117 days.
Acknowledging the feat, both Goyal and Fadnavis thanked the Army for its contribution and completion of the FOBs in record time.
