The blame game between the Shiv Sena and Congress began hours after the collapse of a portion of the foot overbridge connecting Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus’ platform no. 1 to BT lane near Anjuman Islam School.
Shiv Sena MP Anil Desai claimed the bridge does not belong to the Sena-ruled BMC. Sena leaders and party corporators claimed the railways was responsible for its maintenance. “The Sena had written to railway authorities a few years ago suggesting repairs to the bridge. However, railway authorities did not act on it. So, the railways is responsible for the mishap,” said Sujata Sanap, Sena corporator.
