Heavy Rain Causes Road Cave-Ins and Traffic Disruptions in Ludhiana and Chandigarh
Heavy rainfall caused significant road cave-ins in Ludhiana's Kitchlu Nagar and Chandigarh's Sector 9, disrupting traffic and raising safety concerns. In Ludhiana, a 25-foot-deep collapse near an aging sewerage line prompted civic authorities to cordon off the area and begin repairs. In Chandigarh, a broken stormwater line led to a road collapse trapping a car without injuries, while uprooted trees and waterlogging caused further traffic delays. Residents and officials highlighted the need for infrastructure maintenance to prevent future incidents.
