The closure of part of the 10-year-old skywalk at Bandra East for an audit, after the bridge collapsed at CSMT, has created chaos at the site, as crowds have to use the road. Many of the frustrated commuters complain that without an alternative, it was inappropriate to shut down part of the skywalk.

'Nightmare for commuters'
Sujata Argekar, 50, who works at MHADA, used to take the skywalk from Bandra station. For the past two days, she has been struggling to walk through the crowds during office hours. "It has become a nightmare for commuters to walk through the narrow road during office hours. Because of the autos and buses, it has become impossible to walk," said Argekar.
