Landslides at an excavation site in Borivli have resulted in cracks on a service road along the Western Express Highway. The private developer, who is building a tower adjacent to Magathane Metro station and a residential society, has been fined for not taking preventive measures for the monsoon, said civic officials.
The mudslide has left a hole under the service road, which has developed cracks close to the Metro pillars. However, civic officials said the road will require minor repairs and can be open for traffic soon.
The Maha Mumbai Metro Operation Corporation Limited (MMMOCL) on Tuesday announced that the exit on the northern side of Magathane Metro station would be temporarily closed. MMMOCL tweeted that it is working alongside the BMC to ensure everyone’s safety and fixing the damage as soon as possible.
