No issues with Gammon, says BMRCL

BANGALORE: Even as the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Ltd., (DMRCL) is contemplating issuing a show cause notice to Gammon India Ltd., the contractor for constructing the viaduct that collapsed and claimed six lives in Delhi on July 12, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. (BMRCL) said it had no issues with the company.

BMRCL Managing Director N. Sivasailam said that Gammon had been assigned only a small portion of the work on Reach 1, casting of elements and launching of girders, for a short distance after the original contractor Navayuga Engineering Company was offloaded from the work owing to delay.

“The quantum of work assigned to Gammon for Bangalore Metro is quite small. It is quite negligible when compared to the works the company has been executing across the country,” Mr. Sivasailam said. Moreover, BMRCL was taking all safety precautions, he added.
