Ahmedabad: Road caves in, takes in AMC’s garbage truck
Cave-ins have started to re-emerge in Ahmedabad city after another spell of rain this week.
The 92nd cave-in this season was reported in the city’s Sarkhej ward Wednesday afternoon. The rear part of a garbage truck of the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) sank into the huge cave-in near Hotel Savera in the Juhapura area.
“The cave-in is on the main drainage trunk pipeline of 2000 mm. Superficially, it looks like a breakdown that will be only confirmed after the preliminary assessment work which will commence tonight,” AMC additional city engineer Falgun Mistri told The Indian Express. The area was barricaded after the truck was pulled out using a crane.
