Residents are angry over closed Matunga staircase

BMC officer attached to the bridges department says cost escalation has delayed the repair work; local corporator argues that bridge is not needed.

The staircase has been shut for few months
Residents on the western side of Matunga Road Railway Station are still waiting for staircases of the road over bridge (ROB) to be repaired by the civic body. While the municipal body had sanctioned crores for ROBs in the last one year, the officers are unable to fix this particular one, citing cost escalation.
Yogini Talpade, a frequent commuter, finds it difficult to cross the crowded Senapati Bapat Marg outside Matunga station. "Earlier, we used the ROB since the route is congested by motorists. But for the last few months, the ROB has been shut. And now it gets difficult to cross the road, especially late in the night," complains Talpade.
