Opposition targets Sena, BJP; demands ‘white paper’ on bridges

The Opposition on Friday sharpened its attack on the Shiv Sena and BJP, with NCP president Sharad Pawar demanding a “white paper” on the health of all the bridges in Mumbai. State Congress president Ashok Chavan, meanwhile, said the Sena-led Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) had become a “hot bed for corruption” and demanded that the Mayor and Civic Commissioner be sacked immediately.
Claiming that the foot overbridge collapse raised “worrying questions over the state of infrastructure” in the city, the NCP chief on Friday produced a letter from the railways, dated November 2015, which showed the department had requested the BMC to repair the damaged portions of the bridge that year.
