The short safety wall of Gopal Krishna Gokhale Bridge in Andheri
The Gopal Krishna Gokhale Bridge in Andheri is facing an issue with its safety wall height, prompting residents to raise concerns. Dhaval Shah, founder of the Andheri Lokhandwala Oshiwara Citizen’s Association (LOCA), wrote to BMC Commissioner I S Chahal highlighting the safety risks posed by the low height of the wall, measuring just 2.5 to three feet.
Shah emphasised that the inadequate height poses a danger to pedestrians, including children and school students, who frequently use the footpath. “There is a fear that someone might trip over and get injured,” Shah said, urging authorities to address the matter urgently.
