A Single Rainfall Was Enough To Make The Rs. 4000 Crore Mumbai Metro Leak

It took Reliance Infrastructure 4 years and some Rs. 4,000+ crores to build the Mumbai metro. But within a month of operation, it got slapped in the face by the mighty Mumbai rains.

The Mumbai Metro Twitter handle confirmed the incidents

But then they ruined it with this tweet

#MumbaiMetro trains are of world class quality designed by ALSTOM; It’s quality tested by Indian Railways. Our trains are not faulty. (1/2)

p.s. The above tweet was deleted after this story got published

(2/2) Technical issue witnessed today is not uncommon. It already has been rectified and the train is ready to serve tomorrow morning.

As they say, never ruin an apology with an excuse.

Brace yourself, the Mumbai Metro Memes are coming
