Mumbai railway bridge collapse: Here are emergency helpline numbers

Train services of the Western Railway came to a halt after a part of a footover bridge (FOB) collapsed this morning in Mumbai's Andheri.

At least five people were injured in the incident and they have been admitted to Cooper hospital.

"Around 7.30 am, the part of East Western Railway FOB fell down towards Andheri east station. Fire brigade, Mumbai police and ward staff have rushed to the spot," said the official.

Due to the bridge collapse, no trains are running between Goregaon-Bandra section of Western Railway.

Some mail express trains have been cancelled and rescheduled, therefore special arrangements for refund are made at various stations.

► As a special case, WR commuters are permitted to travel on alternative routes of Central Railway. 

► The BEST is also running 27 extra buses between Borivali and Churchgate​

S O Kori, Chief Engineer Bridge of BMC said that the bridge was constructed and maintained by the railways. "All ROBs are maintained by the railways. They do not allow BMC  to carry out any maintenance work and if we do, they allege of trespassing," said Kori.

Overnight rains in Mumbai and adjoining areas also led to the usual chaos of delayed trains, water-logged roads in several low-lying areas resulting in slow movement of vehicular traffic on Tuesday Morning.
