Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Thursday inaugurated the reconstructed Carnac Road Over Bridge (ROB) in south Mumbai, which has been rechristened as “Sindoor Bridge” as a tribute to Indian military’s ‘Operation Sindoor’.The Indian Army has showcased exceptional courage and strategic precision during ‘Operation Sindoor’ by striking deep into terrorist bases in Pakistan’s hinterland, Fadnavis said.
“This renaming is a tribute to our armed forces and India’s defense capabilities,” he said on the occasion.
The east-west connecting ‘Sindoor Bridge’ was rebuilt by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), after the original 150-year-old structure was declared unsafe by the Central Railway (CR) and dismantled in August 2022.
It will help ease traffic congestion and improve connectivity in south Mumbai.
The British-era bridge, an east-west connector, was earlier known as the Carnac Bridge after former Bombay Province governor James Rivett Carnac, who held the office from 1839 to 1841.
