STRAP: Overall work on the project is three-fourths complete
Mumbai: Mumbai’s first underground metro, the Metro Line 3 connecting Colaba to SEEPZ via the Bandra-Kurla Complex, will be floodproof. The metro stations are being built around 1.5 meters above ground level, and will also have removable floodgates at the entry and exit points to avoid waterlogging. Along with the floodgates, MMRC has also made provisions for an underground rainwater drain system and pumps to suck out water.
“The stations and tunnels are made in such a way that the only way rainwater could enter the premises is through the entry and exit points. We have removable planks that can be placed to restrict water from entering the premises.
