Delhi Foot Over Bridge

A foot over-bridge partially collapsed in East Delhi's Laxmi Nagar area after being hit by a crane being transported on a carriage truck, police said on Monday. No one was injured in the incident.

After a video of the incident went viral on social media, Delhi police seized the auto and arrested the 25-year-old driver.

From minimising points of conflict between motorised vehicles and pedestrians or cyclists to making subways and foot over bridges safe, the draft Delhi Master Plan (MPD) 2041 envisions a city that will promote cycling and walking.

A foot-overbridge connecting Delhi Metro's Dhaula Kuan and South Campus stations and having record 22 travelators is now open to the public on Saturday, officials said.

In the post-mortem that will follow in the coming weeks and months regarding what went wrong in the preparedness for the Commonwealth Games (CWG) 2010, one area where more skeletons are likely to tumble out will be the plight of thousands of poor labourers who worked on the project sites.

Commonwealth Games Federation chief Mike Fennell is rushing to New Delhi on an emergency visit amid widespread anger over India's frenzied last-minute preparations for the event which is due to open a week from Sunday.
