A year and half after the 135-year-old Hancock bridge was demolished by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), there has been no development on the construction of the new bridge that was to replace it. On Sunday, residents under the banner of Hancock Bridge Nirman Committee (HBNC) held a meeting, which was attended by residents from Dongri, Noorbaug, and Mazagaon among others. "Since the matter is pending with the court, our only option is to approach the court," he said. At present, pedestrians and motorists have to take a longer route to the cross the railway track. "In the last six months six people have died while crossing the railway track," Sayeed said.
