In a bid to douse the controversy that arose in connection with its structural audit of the Pune metro project, the College of Engineering Pune (CoEP) Technological University on Sunday moved to set the record straight. It issued an official statement that read, “Errors will be detected in the process from acceptance of the work to submission of the preliminary report, and the metro project will be re-examined by a committee of expert professors and a report will be submitted.”
The statement read, “The CoEP Technological University (erstwhile College of Engineering Pune) has been leveraging the potential expertise of its faculty for core consultancy assignments from the industry, defence and public departments for providing technological and cost-effective solutions. The Pune metro project is one of the ambitious projects for the infrastructural development of the city with the potential to favourably impact the traffic and other planning issues of the city.
