Flyover collapse: NHAI, Gurgaon police launch probes

A day after a section of an under-construction elevated road on Gurgaon’s Sohna Road collapsed, both the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), which was constructing the structure, and Gurgaon Police have launched separate probes into the matter.

“A high-level committee of the NHAI will probe. It seems that a portion between pillars number 10 and 11 of the structure gave way, causing the mishap,” said an official from NHAI.

NHAI sources, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said preliminary investigation has indicated that quality of the concrete used in the crushed segment may be responsible, and that there is a need for testing by a third party. The NHAI is coordinating with an institute for the purpose, officials said.
