After averting two major accidents, nearly two weeks ago, MMRDA (Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority) is installing nets below monorail trains to ensure safety of passengers. Although the authorities are unwilling to reveal the dates of the mishaps, two weeks ago, a tyre burst on the Wadala-Chembur monorail corridor. And in another incident, tyres were reported to have fallen off. Fortunately, no person was hurt in both the incidents. Metropolitan commissioner UPS Madan confirmed saying, “Yes, it’s true a the tyre burst accident took place recently. In order to prevent further accidents, we will be installing nets below the monorail, so nothing falls on the ground.”
