The Kurla subway has been fixed, again. Following a story by mid-day on May 29 about the subway having flooded without a drop of rain (Hidden seepage, flooded subway), the BMC acted quite swiftly and pumped out the water, making it usable for pedestrians once again. When mid-day visited the site on Tuesday, it was completely dry and the huge underground drain in the corner of the west side looked as the only possible source of the flooding. "Most probably, the underground drain below the subway was overflowing," said Jitendra Gupta, member of the Mumbai Transport Forum and a local resident, who has been following the work on the subway since its beginning a decade ago. "It is a waste of money, but now that it has been built, it needs to be kept in proper shape," he said.
