East-West Metro tunnel boring machine has moved for the first time since the project came to a halt following a subsidence in Bowbazar on August 31 causing hundreds of people loosing their homes because of large cracks.
Engineers say "the movement" (4meter advancement) of the TBM under the supervision of British engineer John Endicott, did not trigger any "significant" settlement.
