The St Xavier's College's structure is a 150-year-old heritage building. Agnelo Menezes, Principal, St Xavier's College, told DNA, "We are aware that the Metro work is ongoing but the MMRC authorities have not approached us till now. But I will ask my geology department to approach MMRC officials and ask them whether the civil works for the Metro-3 will compromise the structure of St Xavier's College or not." However, Xavier's College is on the other side of the road which is around 100 metres or close to 100 metres away from the construction site." The MMRC had also carried out a study in which, 1,435 buildings were identified throughout the alignment to be affected due to the construction of underground Metro.
