At Mulund railway station, the new swanky “jodi” foot overbridges (FOBs) are nearing completion — but a critical link has gone missing. Unlike the earlier bridge, the new structures are not connected to the ticket booking office, raising questions over design and commuter convenience. While railway officials say the issue is being addressed, residents and daily commuters are calling it a planning lapse that defeats the purpose of seamless connectivity.

Key connectivity missed

In all the developmental works and involvement of multiple agencies, a major design flaw has emerged:
>> The new FOBs are about 10 metres away from the elevated booking office, and no direct connection has been built so far
>> Commuters will have to walk extra or take a detour to access tickets
>> Seamless integration existed earlier, where the FOB and ticket house were linked
