The Mulund rail overbridge is safe for use, claimed a team of Central Railway and BMC officials visiting it on Friday morning following mid-day's report regarding the bridge having major a crack.

Mulund resident and member of a local NGO, Keshav Joshi, had written to the Central Railway after he spotted the crack. Officials, however, said that the gap is a construction joint as per the design and that the rain had washed away the asphalt filling in it, which will soon be refilled.
