From the latest AC rake of Mumbai, used for less than 1 month.

FRP panels cracked, paint sprayed on 1 of the panels while carelessly painting something else, crudely cut panels. Shoddily pasted yellow & red sticker. And ICF aspires to build metro rakes (1/n) ImageImageImage Panels above door are flimsy and have huge panel gaps.

The original locks don't last long, and local workshop adds the fasteners pretty soon (2/n) ImageImageImage

delayed due to slow work by contractors. Further delay added in retendering

Rake trials on in some part. Station works going on slowly. Full opening not likely before end of 2022 1/n Line 3 (Colaba - SEEPZ)
Do I need to say anything? Just 1 word, carshed.
