A dismantled Foot Over Bridge (FOB) has turned into a pick-up point for eunuchs soliciting passing motorists, a trending report in this paper read. A day after this was reported, our correspondent went to the spot on Thursday night to find it abandoned, with locals saying the eunuchs did not come that day.

For six months, pedestrians have been unable to use this FOB on the Sion-Panvel Highway as it was damaged — a trailer truck had rammed into it in March — and, consequently, dismantled. Now, the bridge, near the Vashi octroi naka, operates as a brothel. This bridge was built using Rs 1.5 crore of taxpayers’ money, but today it is lying in disrepair with no authority coming forward to fix it.
