Car damaged as stone falls at Metro site

A brand new car bore the brunt of negligence of the Metro employees. During a brief traffic jam on the M G Road on Tuesday, the windscreen of the car got damaged when a stone fell from the construction site of the emergency exit of the Metro station. No one was injured in the incident. Some motorcyclists had a narrow escape as they rode their way past the Metro site. The car, which could not move forward because of the narrow space came in the path of the stone as there was no protection over the construction area.
