Yet another sinkhole appeared in the city, this time on Ittamadu Main Road on Friday, in the third such incident in over a week.
The three-foot-deep sinkhole occurred due to the leakage of a water pipeline beneath, Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) officials said.
“The road caved in owing to a cavity that was formed beneath. We observed that the soil had loosened owing to water seepage,” a BBMP official said.
Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) officials who inspected the spot on Friday evening said the pipeline has been replaced. “A pipeline connecting one of the houses was leaking and we replaced it,” a BWSSB engineer present at the site said.
