East-West Metro Corridor: Kolkata Metro starts demolition of houses in Bowbazar after they developed cracks
On Monday, the Kolkata Metro started demolishing a portion of one of the houses in Durga Pituri lane, Bowbazar, after they developed cracks due to the tunneling work in the East-West Corridor. Kolkata Metro Rail Corporation Limited (KMRCL) sources were quoted in an IE report saying that, initially, a portion of the house will be demolished. However, if more cracks are developed in the rest of the house or if there’s a danger to its structure, then Kolkata Metro will demolish the entire building. Kolkata Metro has only decided to demolish a portion of two houses – 16 and 16/1 Durga Pituri Lane – after cracks were developed on them.
