Sinkhole Forms on Gurugram's IFFCO Chowk Service Road After Heavy Rain, Repairs Underway
A service road near Gurugram's IFFCO Chowk caved in following heavy rains, creating a large sinkhole that disrupted traffic and raised safety concerns. Authorities, including Gurugram Traffic Police, NHAI, and GMDA, quickly barricaded the area and diverted vehicles. Preliminary inspections suggest a leaking Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority sewer line beneath the road caused soil erosion leading to the collapse. Repair work and detailed inspections are underway amid ongoing waterlogging and water supply disruptions affecting nearby sectors.
