Post Elphinstone stampede, bridge completion date extended
Railway Minister Piyush Goyal said the deadline to complete building foot overbridges at the Elphinstone Road and Currey Road stations has been extended to February 15 due to technical reasons. The earlier deadline for the completion of bridges, being constructed by the Army, was January 31. In September, 23 people had died in a stampede at the Elphinstone Road bridge.
