Metrorail project built for hundred years. Hyderabad Metro Project is constructed by a company known for undertaking infra projects. From near the stations to the viaducts, precasting was carried out. As the years go by, structural defects of the metro are coming to light. A female passenger standing under the Ameerpet metro station lost her life when the wall of the station collapsed. Many stations are cracked. These were later repaired. Now the turn of Prahari (parapit wall) has come. In many places, their growths are falling on the roads. These were also made in the casting yard and brought to the track and fastened. Rails have been made to act as sound barriers for the metro. Metro officials said that it was fixed after quality inspection near the manufacturing site. Right now, one by one, each one is blowing up.
Even inside..
The noises became disturbing not only to those outside but also to those inside. Passengers are complaining that there is excessive noise in turns and in some metro trains. They are demanding that a study be done by an independent agency to prevent noise. If such a problem arises in Delhi, it has studied with the agency and taken preventive measures.
Vibrations are high..
Complaints are being received that not only the noises are high but also the vibrations are high during metro travel. Due to this, not only the surrounding buildings, but also the metro structures are being threatened. Cracks in the walls of the station, the rising of the tracks, the danger is spreading like this. Locals are asking the metro authorities to take measures to prevent this.
Metro track guard is seen in the picture. A section of cement in the Putlibowli-MGBS route was blown away due to metro vibrations.
This is the metro track wall on the Khairatabad-Panjagutta route. Here also a part was blown away some years ago. The accident was averted as there were no passengers.
