The Kolkata Metro has initiated plans to demolish sections of the Kavi Subhash station, following the appearance of cracks on the Up line platform columns, attributed to foundation subsidence after recent heavy rains.
A Metro spokesperson revealed that the station will be partly dismantled, with services now confined between Shahid Khudiram and Dakshineswar stations. The repair work is expected to be completed within nine months.
This decision marks the first instance of a station being dismantled in the history of Kolkata Metro due to structural issues, highlighting the challenges faced in maintaining the transportation infrastructure amid adverse weather conditions.
