The East-West Metro authorities marked cracks on some of the buildings in Chaitan Sen Lane in Bowbazar on Thursday so that new ones can be identified if they develop when the tunnel-boring machine moves. The tunnel-boring machine is now under Nirmal Chunder Street in Bowbazar and is expected to move below Chaitan Sen Lane, behind Syakrapara Lane, when work starts within a week. Officials checked the buildings in the area on Thursday afternoon and marked dates on existing cracks. “A team of engineers have been working on some of the buildings in Chaitan Sen Lane for sometime. The court had directed KMRC to work in accordance with the recommendation of an expert committee on shifting the machine.
