Radio Liberty Georgiaa Georgian news site, has reported that an investigation has been launched into the incident.
Tbilisi City Hall has said the Soviet-era passage was built according to construction standards of the period.
The city’s mayor, Kakhi Kaladze, has said that underground passageways through the Georgian capital meet modern construction standards.
Nino Imnadze, dean of the Faculty of Architecture, Urban Planning and Design at the Technical University of Georgia, told Radio Liberty Georgia that underground passageways built by the city in the 1980s were deliberately designed without railings to double as benches.
She said: ‘The wall should have been at least 60 centimeters high and wide. Nothing was done from above, because it also had a seating function.’
Several social media users have expressed their shock at the tragedy, with some commenting on the safety of the metro station entrance.
A local Dato Akobia said on social media how dangerous the wall where Arina fell is.
Another social media user said: ‘Why are there no security fences? Is it normal that they walk on the edge of the abyss every day?’
