Massive Sinkhole in Ludhiana's Kitchlu Nagar Causes Road Collapse and Safety Concerns
A large sinkhole measuring nearly 20 feet deep and 30 feet long appeared on a road in Kitchlu Nagar, Ludhiana, causing panic among residents concerned about nearby houses. The collapse exposed old sewerage lines damaged by repeated digging for cables. Municipal Corporation officials have begun repair work prioritizing the safety of an adjacent house. Traffic has been diverted as authorities secure the area. This follows a similar cave-in near Saggu Chowk in June, about 2 km away.
