The Congress MP asked, “They are just doing PR and marketing by posing as infra men, but the lives of Mumbaikars are hanging in the balance, what does it mean? When the metro work was going on, why were the safety rules only on paper? When the work was going on on a busy road, why were there no safety arrangements for the traffic passing below?” He further said, “In the name of showing that the metro work is being done at a fast pace, are its quality and technical safety being ignored? Who is responsible?” Varsha Gaikwad said that every time such incidents happen, there is only drama of ‘investigation’. Who will take responsibility for this?
