iron pipe dislocated from the Subhash Nagar Metro Station and fell onto a car and a scooter on February 15, adding to the concerns over the safety and infrastructure integrity of Delhi Metro stations.
The incident at Subhash Nagar Metro Station, located in west Delhi, resulted in one person reported injured, although further details are currently awaited. Eyewitnesses at the scene described the chaos and panic that ensued as the iron pipe came loose, striking vehicles passing beneath the station.
The incident occurred amidst heightened scrutiny of the city's metro system following the recent collapse at Gokulpuri Metro Station on the Pink Line, which claimed the life of a 53-year-old man and left several others injured.
This latest mishap underscores growing concerns regarding the maintenance and safety protocols of Delhi's extensive metro network. Authorities have been urged to conduct thorough inspections and take immediate steps to address any potential hazards or vulnerabilities in the infrastructure.
The Gokulpuri Metro Station incident, which occurred on Thursday, saw a portion of the station's elevated platform collapse, tragically claiming the life of Vinod Kumar, a 53-year-old resident of Shaheed Bhagat Singh Colony in nearby Karawal Nagar. Four others sustained injuries in the collapse and are currently receiving treatment at GTB Hospital in Dilshad Garden.
