Citizen activists from Mulund on Monday visited the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) headquarters to meet the Additional Municipal Commissioner Abhijit Bangar to get work on a foot overbridge (FOB) in their area going and ensure pending funds were sanctioned on the spot. Following this, Bangar ordered the immediate payment of the pending funds for the FOB work.

Central Railway (CR) stated last week that work on the FOB, which has been closed for over a year now, had been delayed as the BMC had not provided funds for the project. The east-west connector was the sole municipal bridge at the station used by citizens. Pedestrians do not require tickets to cross such bridges over railway lines.
