The broken cover on the storm water drain on Old Nagardas Road, which connects to the Andheri subway, has finally been repaired after four days. The earlier cover had caved in on Saturday morning after a dumper truck got stuck in it, leading to closure of the road for many hours. 

The storm water drainage department of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation started the work on Saturday itself and the work was supposed to be completed by Sunday night. However, given that the size of the cover is huge at 12 ftx12 ft, it took almost four days to replace the lid. The area had to be cordoned off for the work which led to severe traffic jams as Andheri subway acts as one of the crucial east-west connectors in Andheri after the closure of the Gokhale Road bridge.
