Yesterday, an iron barricade fell from under construction Metro Line 4 at LBS Marg, killing a biker, Wasim Rizvi (54). He was a plumber by profession.
Last week, two workers from West Bengal died after an iron scaffolding collapsed when they were climbing down the under construction Bhakti Park Metro Station of same Metro Line 4. Their name was Nahij (33) and Sakim (37).
In February, a concrete slab fell from Line 4 on LBS Marg, and crashed onto an auto-rickshaw, instantly crushing Ramdhan Yadav, and injuring three others.
As @bytesofnews rightfully pointed out, at this point, we'll have to make a memorial for all the martyrs. Line 4 (Green) should be renamed to Line 0 (Yamraj Line).
Each time, @MMRDAOfficial brushes off responsibility and fines the contractors involved a few crores. Contractor? Reliance Infra-Astaldi, yep, that same bankrupt Anil Ambani company that cannot afford to spend a dime to upgrade Line 1. Operate karne ka aukaat hai nai, chala gov contract leke chutiya banane.
An FIR is registered, and the sub-contractors + handful of project managers are arrested (scapegoats basically).
But, no heads roll at the top. MMRDA acts like an insanely unaccountable org that's a mere paper pusher. DPR, bids, award. It does nothing other than this.
And the consequences are visible. 4 deaths, many more instances of debris falling from the elevated station/viaduct, and yet work is never complete.
Line 4 is DELAYED by half a decade since construction began in 2018. The 32km line is still far from full commissioning, let's hope the great babus don't spill into 2030s.
This line is supposed to help decongest Central Railway, yet another widow-making transport laggard. The delay of Line 4 also has blood on its hands from the Mumbra Curve.
MMRDA has equally delayed Line 6 (Pink) on JVLR and Line 2B, even these lines won't be commissioned anytime before 2029. And Line 14 isn't even there on paper yet. The people of Dombivali-Ambernath are already dead meat.
Meanwhile, @DrSanMukherjee, the great untouchable Emperor from the IAS caste, is busy telling us how a 300km Ring Road around Mumbai is the future. How BKC needs a SCAM project called BaBaGaadi (PodTaxi). How Mumbai 69.0 is getting unlocked near god-knows-where Rajouri district.
Sala if all of this wasn't enough, the IAS has the audacity launch "India’s First Weekly Public Transport Day for
BKC Business District - Friday".
Tere government gaadi ke chhapre pe chaddh ke pohchu main BKC?!
@CMOMaharashtra@Dev_Fadnavis, next election jab BJP karyakarta vote ki bheekh maange aaye-na, toh please, khudko InfraMan toh mat hi bolna. Thoda saa darr rakho Ganpati bappa ka, itna jhoot mat bolo.

Vande Metro 12C AC rake due for maintenance gets replaced by 8C MEMU. This is how Kutch region gets treated... no good daytime or night service at all between 3 largest ports and Ahmedabad
A gang of awaara boys from UP trespassing inside a closed railway premises, vandalising locomotives and damaging railway property just to look “cool.”
This incident is from Alambagh Diesel Loco Shed, Lucknow. @RPF_INDIA, I hope strict action will be taken against these anti-social elements.

@Dev_Fadnavis ji, Mumbai has given you a clear mandate after decades.
You delivered metros, coastal roads, mega infra, credit where due.
Now Mumbaikars want walkable streets, freedom from auto mafia, clean air and streets, strict traffic enforcement, planned neighbourhoods, and zero corruption at the municipal level.
People want dignity in daily travel, along with mega projects.
Today, there are no excuses left.BMC, state, Centre, all under one BJP party.
Expectations are sky-high.
Please deliver. Mumbai is watching.
@CMOMaharashtra

Already Bhuj/Gandhidham have limited train options & @WesternRly cancels few of them without a reason.20927/28 is not running for more than a year.@VinodChavdaBJP@AshwiniVaishnaw@drmadiwr
Introduce a daily train b/w Ahmedabad/Vadodara & Bhuj/Naliya for passenger benefit.
@drmadiwr@drmbct@wrdrmrjt@WesternRly@VinodChavdaBJP please start Bhuj Naliya Railway line for passenger traffic and also give a new daily express train between Mumbai & Naliya and an overnight intercity from Naliya to Vadodara to reduce load on existing trains.
@Aryan70009Aryan@marinebharat It's easy to blabber around on social media platforms. If you have some real life practical solutions please bring those up, otherwise please be silent. Also, no one is forcing you to go in local trains. Don't spread unnecessary hate all over the place.
Dear @RailMinIndia@AshwiniVaishnaw , A so called influencer is spreading fake news that anyone can travel to kumbh in any class without any ticket, this might result in huge crowding in many reserved trains, Please take quick & strict action against such fake news peddlers.
