Ahmedabad: The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation has asked authorities of the Metro-Link Express for Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad (MEGA), to take up the repairs and others measures along the metro route to ensure there is no waterlogging along the corridor.A meeting of AMC and Metro officials chaired by municipal commissioner Vijay Nehra and chief general manager Amit Gupta was held on Saturday. Nehra said that AMC engineers pointed out areas where waterlogging took place during the first spell of heavy rain in the city. These sites were mainly where metro work was under way.Nehra said it was decided that the metro authorities will get potholes repaired and ensure that citizens do not face hardships. “Repairs work has been taken up on a war footing. Metro authorities even agreed to clear mud that had flowed on to roads.” Nehra said the corporation has also asked the metro authorities to clear blockages stopping the flow of stormwater.Gupta, however, said the meeting was just a review, held to brief the commissioner on the project. The metro team has taken up cleaning of catch pits and has even provided for the water to flow if a catch pit was in the centre of the road.“We identified some roads and will carry out repairs to ensure that no waterlogging takes place. The cave-in in Vejalpur was not because of metro work, but seepage from a drainage had caused it,” said Gupta.
