According to reports, a cabin/enclosure-like structure was constructed with the support of a pillar at The Institution of Engineers Station of Maha Metro on Aqua Line. On Saturday, a vertical crack developed, separating the pillar and the structure. The photographs went viral on social media by late afternoon. Maha Metro placed a taped barricading near the place, and later covered the upper portion of the vertical crack with a net tied with ropes, to hold together the pillar and the structure.
According to Maha Metro, the structure was a ‘temporary’ one, constructed with support of the pillar at the said station.
