Carnac bridge in south Mumbai is a threat and needs to be demolished urgently as per the recommendations made by the IIT a few years ago, the Central Railway reminded the civic authorities yet again. This comes as the final call is awaited from the traffic police.

The IIT audit report, conducted following the Elphinstone stampede and the collapse of Andheri bridge pathway, declared the bridge as dangerous. “The bridge needs to go from the passenger safety perspective. We have been following up with the traffic police too,” a senior divisional official said.
