Service Road Collapse at Gurugram's IFFCO Chowk Linked to Sewer Line Damage
A 25-foot-wide section of the service road at Gurugram's IFFCO Chowk collapsed following heavy rain on August 24, causing traffic disruptions and waterlogging. Authorities barricaded the area and managed traffic to ensure safety. Preliminary reports suggest a Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority sewer line beneath the road may have caused the cave-in. This incident follows previous infrastructure concerns at the junction, including past collapses linked to underground utility failures. Repairs and inspections are pending, with officials yet to announce timelines.
