Shivers went down her spine after 37-year-old Jayashree heard a loud thud opposite her residence as she was having lunch.
“I was afraid thinking it might be an accident and I saw the Metro rail structure going down. I let out a shriek,” said the tenant in the building overlooking the Metro Rail site on the busy 100 feet road between Koyambedu and Vadapalani signal. “What would have happened if it would have fallen on the commuters. There would be huge loss of life,” she wondered.
Her house-owner Nirmala said the incident happened at 2.40 pm bringing traffic to a standstill. “For 15 minutes the traffic along the busy 100 feet road was affected,” Nirmala recalled.
Passers-by blamed Metro Rail for being lax in their work. “Safety has to be ensured. This is a busy stretch. Our lives are in danger,” a bank employee said.
“What would have happened if the 50 tonne scaffolding had fallen on a bus? The authorities have to ensure such incidents don’t happen again,” said Satish, a commuter in the stretch.
“I always have a fear while driving under the Metro Rail stretch,” he said.
The collapse of the scaffolding on the 100 feet road between Koyambedu-St Thomas Mount stretch is the third such incident involving Metro Rail and has created panic among commuters using the road
