BENGALURU: As if the problem of coping with the traffic was not enough, commuters on the road near Alpine Apartments at Doddanekundi in K R Puram were in for a nasty surprise on Thursday morning. A portion of the well-tarred road caved in leaving Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) and traffic police also in a shock.
Following a complaint from the locals and the traffic police, BBMP officials rushed to the spot, only to find a water pipeline laid by the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewarage Board (BWSSB) had been broken due to which a portion of the road caved in.
Commuters had a tough time. Many of them fell off their two-wheelers and felt jerks when their vehicles rode on the damaged road. Traffic police put up barricades on the damaged portion after the water was drained out of the road completely.
