Portion of road in Bengaluru’s Mahalakshmi Layout Main Road caves in mere days after asphalting

Days after a sinkhole appeared on Brigade Road, another sinkhole appeared at Mahalakshmi Layout on Tuesday, leaving the residents of the area fuming.

The citizens were shocked at the incident since the road was asphalted by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike(BBMP) just three days ago. According to sources, the sinkhole appeared when a water tanker was passing by the spot at 8:40 am.

BBMP officials who inspected the spot said that the pipelines underneath had loosened the soil, resulting in a sinkhole.
