Ahmedabad: Metro pillar under construction leans over, GMRC rectifies issue

A pillar of the Ahmedabad-Gandhinagar metro rail project under construction at the Thaltej area of the city leaned over dangerously Tuesday night after its guy rope, the tensioned cable adding stability to the structure, got unfastened when a tempo passed by.

An official of the Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation (GMRC) said: “There was no mishap, as the construction site has cranes and other equipment to take care of such problems. The falling reinforcement structure was soon put in place”.

“Due to the rains, the water got collected around the said pillar, which already makes the pillar a bit vulnerable.
