Quick Read
BMC local ward clean-up teams swung into action at Matunga’s Z bridge on Tuesday, restoring it to a clean state a day after a mid-day report highlighted its poor condition. Clarifying responsibility, officials from the BMC and Indian Railways said the bridge will now be cleaned jointly. According to the arrangement, the BMC will handle the staircase and the small stretch of the bridge leading to the railway area, while the Railway division will be responsible for cleaning portions passing over the workshop.
On Monday, mid-day had reported how the Matunga Z Bridge, a vital foot overbridge linking Central and Western Railway stations, had become a symbol of bureaucratic apathy, with the BMC and Railways blaming each other for its upkeep. On Tuesday afternoon, a deep-cleaning drive was carried out on the west side of the bridge, including the staircase and the connecting foot overbridge to Matunga Road station. A civic beat-cleaning team was stationed at the site for several hours.
