What used to be a garbage-dump in the corner of Sandhurst Road station is now a beautiful green strip with tomatoes, lady fingers and flower plants. The station staff along with volunteers and local civic staffers used the soil and debris from the monsoon micro-tunnelling work to build a sustainable garden next to the railway tracks.
Micro-tunnelling is a technology widely adopted and recently tried, tested and executed here for building an underground waterway with over 1,000-mm diameter RCC pipes, without disturbing rail movement. The rich soil removed from this massive work proved to be very helpful to flourish the garden.
