Maha Metro's Bridge Work Continues Amidst Monsoon Concerns
Maha Metro is building a foot over bridge near Deccan Gymkhana in Pune.
They're continuing the work even though it's raining.
If the dams release water, they have a plan to move their equipment.
The bridge is closed to vehicles because of the construction.
Pune Municipal Corporation and the irrigation department are watching the water levels in case they need to move the machinery.
The project started in April and may continue past June.
If the water level in the river increases, the construction site can get flooded.
Last year, the dam released water due to heavy rain, leading to flooding in low-lying areas.
They are prepared and ready to evacuate the machinery.
