The incessant rains is also impacting metro construction work on the ORR-airport line, especially between Central Silk Board and K.R. Puram. Metro piling work was majorly impacted owing to waterlogging. However, officials maintain the phenomenon is temporary.
Under Phase 2 A and B, the BMRCL is constructing the elevated metro line from Central Silk Board to Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) via K.R. Puram, Nagawara, and Hebbal.
Anjum Parwez, MD, BMRCL, said, “The city has received more rainfall than normal for almost over three months now. Even during summer, we saw heavy rainfall. When it rains heavily, the piling works get impacted. We were going at full swing, especially on the ORR from Central Silk Board to K.R. Puram, where we had all the clearances for carrying out the metro work, but now the pace of work is getting impacted”.
