A view of the house that collapsed at Bowbazar area due to the underground metro rail work, in Kolkata, West Bengal(Samir Jana/HT Photo)A minister was among hundreds of residents told to evacuate their houses in central Kolkata’s Bowbazar, one of the oldest parts of the city, after the structures developed cracks since Tuesday night because of the ongoing construction work for the underground tunnel of the East West Metro project, a part of which constitutes India’s first under-river train line.
Among those asked to vacate their residences, as a precautionary measure, by senior Kolkata Metro Rail Corporation Ltd official (KMRCL) was minister of state for parliamentary affairs Tapas Roy. The evacuation notice was served following an inspection by the KMRCL team. Last week, around 400 people were shifted to hotels.

Residents of a large pocket in Bowbazar, the city’s gold and jewellery manufacturing hub, are living like refugees since August 31 when the tunnel boring machine of KMRCL accidentally hit an aquifer beneath the affected zone. As water and sludge started gushing into the tunnel, gaps developed in the soil layers above it and the surface. The houses, many of which are more than a century old, sufered severe damage.

With newer areas coming in the sphere of the disaster, I am compelled to say that they (KMRCL) made a big mistake,” said Hakim, adding that the management of the disaster has gone beyond the reach of the local management.
