It was the end of an illustrious legacy yesterday. Once, the Indian Railways used to manufacture war tanks, hand grenades, shells, etc, in its workshops.

The Army's help has been sought to finish railways' job - building three foot overbridges, one each at Elphinston...

The Army will help build a new bridge at Mumbai's Elphinstone Road train station, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis announced today as union ministers Nirmala Sitharaman and Piyush Goyal visited the site where 23 were killed in a rush hour stampede a month ago.

A woman passenger was injured at suburban Elphinstone Road railway station today when part of a tile of a Foot Overbridge (FoB) fell on her on head while she was entering the premises, an official said.

Rain and rumours have been blamed for the stampede at a Mumbai railway bridge that killed 23 people last month. But railway officials who took 18 months to call for bids to build the new foot over-bridge at Elphinstone station may not be off the hook yet.

Activists in Mumbai were pulled up by the high court for being casual about the safety of commuters and "waking up" to the "serious and sensitive" issue only after the Elphinstone Road station stampede killed 23 and injured many.

In a bid to prevent incidents like the Elphinstone station stampede that claimed 23 lives, the railway administration has undertaken a drive to evict illegal hawkers from the entry and exit points of the station as well as from the foot overbridges to ease commuter movement.

The deadly stampede that killed 23 people and left over 30 injured in Mumbai on Friday may have been triggered by the most unfortunate of mix-ups. A flower vendor's cry of "phool gir gaya (flowers have fallen)" being mistaken as "pul gir gaya (the bridge has fallen)" might have caused the panic on a bridge linking two suburban train stations, a sur...

A viral video has led the police to investigate another alleged crime that occurred after the stampede on the Elphinstone Road station foot overbridge (FOB). The video shows a woman allegedly being molested by a person who came to help the trapped people, as she lay amid the pile of victims on the FOB.

The stampede at Elphinstone Station brings up a million questions about our system and our priorities.

Passenger safety will be top priority, Railways Minister Piyush Goyal declared on Saturday as he announced a series of measures a day after 23 people were killed in a stampede at a crowded station in Mumbai. After chairing a nine-hour-long high-level meeting, the minister said that he had empowered officials "to spend whatever is necessary on safet...
