Rainwater seepage floods Acharya Atre Chowk station on Mumbai Metro Line 3; MMRC suspends services on affected stretch
The Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (MMRC), which is executing the project, confirmed the incident and said the affected section is not yet open to the public.
The incident occurred at an entry/exit structure located along Dr. Annie Besant Road.
According to MMRC, 'Due to the sudden and intense rainfall today, water seepage was reported at the under-construction entry/exit structure of Acharya Atre Chowk station.
The incident occurred when the RCC water-retaining wall constructed at the entry/exit collapsed due to a sudden ingress of water from an adjoining utility.'
While the seepage was limited to an area under construction, as a precautionary measure, train services between Worli and Acharya Atre Chowk have been temporarily suspended. 'However, the train services from Aarey JVLR to Worli are not affected and are running regularly,' the agency clarified.

This collision zone makes the region highly vulnerable to frequent seismic activities. High-risk areas include Balochistan , Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit-Baltistan, which are located near major fault lines like the Main Central Thrust. Punjab, situated on the northwestern edge of the Indian plate, also remains susceptible. Sindh, though relatively less prone to earthquakes is also not free from risk due to its tectonic positioning. One of the most powerful earthquakes in the country's history was the 1945 Balochistan earthquake that measured 8.1 in magnitude.
