A portion of a road on Aurobindo Marg, Adchini, settled in due to leakage in a water line Monday night. Three vehicles, a DTC bus and two two-wheelers got stuck in the caved-in road. They were rescued safely and no injuries were reported.
Somnath Bharti, the MLA in the area, said, “I reached the spot when the incident took place around 9:30 pm. A crane was deployed to rescue the three vehicles. There were no injuries.” He said that excess stormwater in drains was one of the reasons for the cave-in. He added that there is some trenchless work by cable companies, which could have also contributed to the cave-in. He said restoration work is going on and should be done in a week.
