The director of the Indian Institute of Technology - Bombay, Prof. Devang V Khakhar, has said the institute will offer all possible technical expertise to the railways in Mumbai, to avert mishaps like the one involving the Andheri road over bridge in the future.

Following the collapse of the pathway of the road over bridge at Andheri on Tuesday, Railway Minister Piyush Goyal, during a visit to the site, had announced that he had reached out to IIT director Prof. Khakhar, to conduct an audit of all such bridges in Mumbai, and use the institute's expertise to narrow down on a solution.
