<p>“I have discussed this issue with experts from Scotland. They confirmed that there is no problem with the structure. The leakage is coming from the expansion joint and will be resolved soon. They will use polymer grouting injection technology to prevent further leakage. Although there are about 50 expansion joints, only two are leaking. I have instructed the officials to treat all the joints,” Shinde had said</p>
