How Rs 777 cr Pragati Maidan tunnel turned ‘useless’ in less than 2 years

Tunnel was non-operational last monsoon

Notably, the entire project was non-operational for the general public last year during the monsoon season due to repeated water accumulation issues. According to the PWD’s notice, the project’s design and execution were under L&T’s control, and no government agency had any role in it.

The latest notice follows after the issues with the project were communicated to the firm seeking urgent and immediate redressal of the problems, but they have remained unaddressed for over two months, the PWD said.
