“On behalf of the municipal administration, I would like to clarify that the lift pit has been cleaned by BMC workers who visited the site. The construction work at the site is under the Railways’ jurisdiction, and the railway authority is responsible for this issue. However, BMC staff have cleaned the pit. Additionally, representatives of the municipal administration met with railway authorities to inform them about the complaint and address it. Following this, the railway authority stated that the pit would be closed by the contractor until further work is completed,” a BMC spokesperson said.
