It seems the Central Railway CR authorities are yet to decide whether there has been a delay in receiving a detailed report of the bridge audit conducted by the Indian Institute of Technology IIT Bombay or whether its already with them. While top officials are of the opinion that the delay happened due to some monetary issues, the CR spokesperson says they have received the necessary report.

According to sources, IIT-B had conducted the audit last year following the Gokhale Road bridge collapse. The CR officials said that bridges across the city had been successfully audited and a summary of it had been handed over to the Railways. They further said that action had been initiated in the matter and some of the bridges - Patri Pul at Kalyan, Sewri foot-overbridge and the one at Lower Parel - have been demolished. However, they mentioned that the detailed assessment report of each bridge was yet to be handed over to the Railways due to some payment issues, which has now been sorted.
