The action comes after a news report in these columns highlighted that fresh water leakage from the supply pipelines passing above the underpass was oozing out of the roof, walls, expansion joints and even nut bolts of the underpass, leading to waterlogging.

During a second spot-check on Tuesday night, HT found that roof leakages had been repaired while water was still running from a few sections along the walls of the underpass.
