Feeling breathless just looking at this picture? Imagine walking on this oppressively narrow east-west foot overbridge, heaving with commuters and closed in by slums on both sides. Fortunately, by March 2019, things might not be so bad, as WR is building one of the city's widest FOBs here to relieve the pressure.

In our Safety Audit series, mid-day had highlighted the dangerously crowded east-west FOB at Bandra station, which is made all the more claustrophobic by encroachments on both sides ('Slums put brakes on safety', mid-day, October 13, 2017). This crowding is especially worrying in the context of the stampede on a similarly crowded FOB at Elphinstone Road station on September 289, 2017.
