Engineers Inspect Cracks at Kolkata City Centre Metro Station, Main Structure Safe
Cracks were detected on a pillar at Kolkata's City Centre metro station on the Green Line, prompting an inspection by metro engineers. Officials clarified the crack affects only the external cladding of an escalator shaft, an independent structure separate from the main station, which remains safe and operational. The cause is under investigation, with possible reasons including soil settlement or structural flaws. This follows earlier cracks at Kavi Subhash station that led to service suspension there, but City Centre services continue normally.
