Experts appointed to check Delhi Metro pillars
New Delhi: After two major accidents in a span of 24 hours, the Delhi Metro has called for a complete re-examination of safety and quality of structures built in Phase-II of the project by independent structural experts, besides ordering a probe into the mishap.

Structural experts Shirish Patel and Associates have been appointed for this purpose.

They would check other pillars or civil structures as specified by the DMRC.

The Delhi Metro also decided to appoint a former NALCO chief to inquire into why a crane toppled over.

The move comes in the backdrop of the collapse of an under-construction bridge in south Delhi on Sunday, killing six people.
