Stones hit a few vehicles parked on the premises of the Mantralaya building due to blasting work in connection with the underground Mumbai Metro Line 3
The Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC) said it was stopping the controlled blasting work near the Mantralaya
A case of negligence would be registered in connection with the incident, said a police official from the Marine Drive police station
In a press statement, the MMRC said blasting was being done to break hard rock as part of excavation work of the entry/exit of the Mantralaya subway
"Blasting work has been going on for quite some time without any problems. However today some windows of Mantralaya got damaged during this operation. We assure that MMRC conducts its work with all due diligence. We will review the work. Till then, we are stopping controlled blasting work at the subway near Mantralaya and work will be restarted only after causes are studied and corrective action is taken," MMRC said
