What damage will Metro III cause next? After repeated instances of waterlogging in South Mumbai, and unusual flooding due to illegal discharge of slurry water in the stormwater drain network, work on the underground Colaba-Bandra-Seepz corridor has now found to be affecting a civic school as well as a cement concrete road in Worli.

The Worli primary school holds classes from Std I to VII in Hindi, Marathi and Urdu mediums, as well as for night school. The Metro work is for the Acharya Atre Chowk station and being done in the school's backyard, on Dr E Moses Road. The BMC has written a letter to the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC), which is executing the project.
