Mumbai : Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) will construct the retaining wall of Sandhurst Road. The fund will be given from the District Planning and Development Council (DPDC).
A part of retaining wall had collapsed on July 9 on the railway tracks of Sandhurst Road.
The Guardian Minister Subhash Desai on Saturday visited the site. According to a senior Railway official, the retaining wall have a length of 130 sq feet which will be parallel to the railway track. The height of the wall be five metres.
Earlier in a meeting which was held on July 13, Mhada officials had maintained a similar view and said the building is safe. However, the railways refused to subscribe to the view and the same day, CR’s senior divisional engineer (coordination) Ashutosh Gupta had wrote to Mhada: “Building no. 27D, 27E and 27F and two godowns are existing near the down line side of Sandhurst Road station on the bank. Due to construction of these structures, the ground is slipping and resulting in failure of wall adjacent to the track… In case of heavy rain and landslide, there is imminent danger of these buildings collapsing over tracks.”
