Rainwater Leakage at Pune Metro Station Before Corridor Inauguration, PMRDA Cites Drainage Blockage
A rainwater leakage occurred at Pune's Maan Metro Station shortly before the inauguration of the Shivajinagar-Hinjewadi-Maan Metro corridor. The Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) attributed the leakage to a temporary blockage in a rainwater drainage pipe on the station's open terrace slab, which caused water to seep through a gap between the station box and entry structure. PMRDA officials stated there were no structural defects and that the drainage system has been cleared and restored. The incident raised public concerns about construction quality and waterproofing.
