The Army will also assist in building foot overbridges at two other stations in Mumbai
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had expressed sadness over the Mumbai stampede.
He also said that from now on the Foot Over Bridges (FOBs) would be deemed mandatory and not just a public amenity.
Bodies of 17 of the 22 people killed in the stampede at Elphinstone Road railway station here have been handed over to their relatives so far, hospital authorities said on Saturday. At least 22 persons were killed and 39 injured in a rush hour stampede on a narrow foot-over-bridge (FOB) linking Elphinstone Road and Parel suburban stations during heavy rain on Friday morning.
They warned of impending disaster, and called for preventive action. What did happen however, was that Elphinstone Road Station was recently renamed Prabhadevi Station.
