Metro Railway has inspected a reported crack near the escalator shaft pillar at City Centre station on Kolkata’s Green Line. According to the railway authorities, the issue is linked to the outer cladding and not to the main structural frame of the station.
Officials said the primary structure remains safe, seeking to ease concerns about passenger safety. The assessment indicates that the visible damage does not affect the core support system of the station.
Metro services at City Centre station are continuing as usual, with no disruption to normal operations. The railway’s response suggests that while the crack drew attention, it has not created an operational or structural emergency.
The incident has put focus on station maintenance and rapid inspection of visible defects in public transport facilities. For now, Metro Railway maintains that the station is safe for commuters and that train movement on the Green Line remains normal.
