Mumbai over-bridge collapse: 'I have ordered an inquiry into this. Commissioner of Rail Safety will give report in 15 days,' says Piyush Goyal

Railway Minister Piyush Goyal on Tuesday said it was unfortunate that part of an over bridge collapsed in Mumbai’s Andheri West and added an inquiry was ordered. Commissioner of Rail Safety will give report in 15 days,” ANI quoted Piyush Goyal saying. Mumbai was crippled for the second time in less than a month after a section of a foot over-bridge crashed over the Western Railway tracks at Andheri following Tuesday's heavy rains which left many areas of the city flooded, playing havoc with road and rail traffic. Coming nine months after the Elphinstone Road FOB crash and stampede that left 23 commuters dead, Tuesday's incident instilled fear among the commuters, especially since at least three jam-packed locals had passed seconds before the bridge caved in on the railway tracks.
