Under-Construction Metro Pillar Tilts at Karond Intersection, Power Line Snaps in Bhopal
Early Sunday morning near Karond intersection in Bhopal, an under-construction metro pillar tilted during heavy rainfall and strong winds, snapping an overhead 11kV power line that fell onto the road. Police and metro officials quickly cordoned off the area, halted traffic, and notified the electricity company to cut power, preventing injuries. Preliminary investigations attribute the tilt to soil subsidence from continuous rain weakening the ground beneath the 20-ton iron framework, which had not yet been concreted. Engineers arrived promptly to stabilize the structure, and metro authorities are reviewing safety measures at other sites.
