It’s raining metal sheets!
At 2.30 pm yesterday, a large metal sheet fell from under the Rawalpada Foot Over-bridge (FOB), which crosses over the Western Express Highway. Arif Chokiya, an eyewitness, said, “I pass this route every day. The large sheet fell right in front of me and missed the biker riding ahead of me by a few feet.

Luckily no one was hurt.” The 42-year-old resident of Kashimira immediately called the fire officials who reached the spot within 30 minutes of the incident. Cops from Dahisar Police station reached the spot by 3.30 pm. “No one bothered to divert traffic from the accident spot,” alleges Chokiya. Sharad Sabnis, chief engineer of Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Agency, said, “While one sheet has been removed, two more sheets will be re-fixed soon.” text/nigel buthello, Pics/Nimesh Dave
