The Railways seemed to have made the most of the lockdown to improve, construct and repair infrastructure. At least 13 of the total 16 Foot Over Bridges (FOB) declared dangerous by IIT-Bombay in its safety audit on the Western Railway have been pulled down in this period, with the latest to be dismantled this weekend. The three remaining will also be pulled down by the year-end.

"In the past few months, Western Railway has completed many construction works of FOBs and skywalks, and have also undertaken repair works of several Road Over Bridges (ROBs) and FOBs, making the best use of the lockdown. Continuing in this series, the old FOB between Mahim and Matunga Road was dismantled in four and a half hours during the night of November 20 and 21," Western Railway Chief Public Relations Officer Sumit Thakur said.
