The narrow access to the culprit Elphinstone-Parel FOB continues to be littered with hutments, as BMC and railways bicker over whose responsibility it is to remove them

Did you think Elphinstone Road-Parel station was on its way to becoming safer, after all the uproar and subsequent announcements, claims of joint reports and coordination meetings - precious man-hours spent in discussions and visits? Take a walk along the same access road to the foot overbridge (FOB); not much has changed at ground zero. The encroachments just outside the culprit FOB are still standing, indifferent to the jurisdictional fight between the civic body and the railways on whose job it is to remove them.
