Mumbai Rains: Metro 3 Service Suspended From Acharya Atre Chowk To Worli — Internet Reacts

Mumbai Metro Line 3’s operation between Acharya Atre Chowk and Worli was suspended on Monday following waterlogging at the underground Acharya Atre Chowk station due to heavy rains, according to a public notice by the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation.

However, the services from Aarey JVLR to Worli were not affected and are running as usual, it stated.

On May 9, the MMRC extended the underground metro services between the Bandra-Kurla Complex and Aacharya Atre Chowk stations.

"Mumbai Metro Line 3 Service Update Due to an unforeseen technical issue, train services on Metro Line-3 are temporarily curtailed and will operate only up to Worli Station instead of Acharya Atre Chowk," Mumbai Metro 3 shared on its official X account.

The MMRC, in a statement, said, "Due to the sudden and intense rainfall today, water seepage was reported at the under-construction entry/exit structure of Acharya Atrey Chowk station along Dr Annie Besant Road. The incident occurred when the RCC water-retaining wall constructed at entry and exit collapsed due to a sudden ingress of water from an adjoining utility."

As a precautionary measure and to ensure passenger safety, train services between Worli and Acharya Atrey Chowk have been temporarily suspended, the agency said.

Meanwhile, internet users have shared videos from the Mumbai Metro 3 station, that showed waterlogging inside the station premises, including platforms, ticketing bay and surrounding areas.

"Aqualine-quite literally," shared users, taking a dig at the authorities.
