Mumbai: Two persons were injured when portion of a Foot Over Bridge (FOB) collapsed in Navi Mumbai's Vashi area Thursday night, an official said. Regional Disaster Management Cell chief Santosh Kadam said two persons were injured as the FOB at Sagar Vihar crashed around 8 pm.
Fire Brigade personnel rushed to the spot and the injured were admitted to nearby hospital, he said.
Two people identified as Sarvesh Pal (30) and Jitendra Pal (30) were injured and have been shifted to the NMMC hospital.
The incident took place at around 8.30 pm, when there were not many people on the bridge, which is why a major incident was averted.
In a recent incident, the Himalaya bridge, which collapsed on March 14, killed six commuters and injured 31. The BMC in their preliminary investigation had observed that not only the consultant carried the audit irresponsibly but also the engineers and officers from BMC Bridge's Department were also negligent in supervision.
