Two years ago, the MMRCL had stated that the underground Metro Line 3, connecting Colaba to SEEPZ via Bandra-Kurla Complex, would be completely flood-proof. However, just a fortnight — 16 days to be precise — after its inauguration, that promise went down the drain. On Monday, after heavy rains lashed the city, Metro rail services had to be curtailed up to Worli Metro Station instead of Acharya Atre Chowk, which was flooded. There was also serious infrastructure damage. Sources revealed that a slab inside the Acharya Atre Chowk Metro Station collapsed, and ticket-scanning machines were dislodged by the force of water.
