Is the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) going back on its word? After publicly announcing that it won't be constructing any new skywalks since few people were using them, the planning authority has floated bids to extend the Bandra East skywalk so that there is another arm that connects with Bandra Railway Station.

Confirming the development to SUNDAY MiD DAY, MMRDA Joint Project Director Dilip Kawatkar said, “It is true that we have invited bids to extend the Bandra east skywalk with one arm connecting Bandra railway station but this does not mean we are constructing a new skywalk. It should also be noted that the plan to construct this additional arm is very old. We are just implementing it now.”
