While no one is ready to talk about it officially, the data on the use of water pumps in the past two monsoons, suggests that underground Metro 3 work has led to flooding in the southern parts of the city.

Water pumps were arranged for all low-lying areas, but Nariman Point, Fort, Tardeo, Mahalaxmi, Worli, Parel required almost double the number of pumps in 2020 and 2021. The Metro 3 work was going on in full swing in these areas.
