Another foot over bridge collapse in Mumbai, One again typical blame game will follow. Who is responsible, BMC or railways? Mumbai is the ultimate symbol of " authorities being totally at sea " to deal with basic issues. #Mumbai

Imagine the plight of commuters. Roads & flyovers are being constructed for vehicles, while humans are dying in Mumbai due to bridge collapse

CST foot-over bridge collapse: yet another case of negligence. An inquiry will be set up now (mainly to blame some and save other asses). Then, back to normal, until another bridge collapse. Mumbai, India, bhagwan bharose... it is often said. https://t.co/TPhJrcnZjT

Whatever happened to all the audits done of all the foot-bridges? How long will people continue die commuting to work? Shame on the SS-BJP government in Maharashtra. @AUThackeray @Dev_Fadnavis

“Civic Negligence...”

Yet another tragedy born out of civic negligence in Mumbai. This bridge is RIGHT OUTSIDE the headquarters of the BMC and the Railways. https://t.co/FJoQyUKzbw

Literally use this bridge everyday. It's so scary how at anytime this bridge could've collapsed like that. Life is literally of no value in a country that's so densely populated. #MumbaiBridgeCollapse https://t.co/gvO5H0f80V

Bridge collapsed near CST, lack of repair lead to causality of 2(upto now). Total failure of BMC which is being ruled by BJP and Shivsena for decades. #MumbaiBridgeCollapse

The collapse of the bridge outside CSMT station is a reminder of how bad the infrastructure status of the city is. this bridge is not even 100 meters away from BMC and we have a situation like this over here. Human life has no value, no meaning it seems.
