Another cave-in — this time under IIT-Delhi flyover
A portion of the road under the IIT-Delhi flyover caved in due to heavy rain on Saturday, with officials from the Public Works Department (PWD) saying repair work has started and that the cavity will be filled by Sunday morning.
A PWD official attributed the “deep cavity” to a leak in a water supply line. “Staff were working to repair potholes when they saw that there was a huge cavity. This happened on Saturday morning and traffic was shut before any accidents took place,” he said.
Another PWD official said such cave-ins can take place in the rainy season. “There is a leakage in a pipeline under the road, and this leads to erosion of earth below.
