Repair Underway for Sinkhole Caused by Sewer Line Collapse at Iffco Chowk
A sinkhole formed on Tuesday at Iffco Chowk on the Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway due to a collapsed sewer pipeline. The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) identified the leak after nearly three days of sewage pumping and began repairing the damaged 20-meter section. They are also upgrading 100 meters of the pipeline using Machine Wound Spiral Lining technology. Repair and road restoration are expected to take three to six more days, with the National Highways Authority of India involved in road reconstruction.
