A portion of a road caved-in at the Mumbai Metro-3 (Colaba-Bandra-Seepz) site in Girgaon on Wednesday morning. It was a stretch on the Jagannath Shankar Sheth (JSS) road near the upcoming Girgaon station, which collapsed due to water ingress, said authorities.
Officials from the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC), which is executing the underground line, said the road has been closed and the section that caved-in has also been filled.
“We have started grouting from inside the station area to stop the water ingress. MMRC is continuously monitoring all the buildings in the nearby area to ensure their safety,” said an MMRC spokesperson.
