Road caves in, repaired in few hours

Ludhiana: A small portion of the Kaka Marriage Palace road caved in on Friday morning. The municipal corporation officials though rebuilt the portion in a few hours but claimed that some underground cable was responsible for such incidents.
Luckily, there was no untoward incident and before the caving in could get larger in proportion, the civic body officials fixed it. Such incidents of caving in of roads have become a routine affair here as earlier a large portion of the same road had caved in.
The SDO of operation and maintenance cell, Anshul Garcha, who got the road repaired, said that it was only 2-3ft wide and some underground cable was passing under it due to which the portion of the road had got damaged. He said they checked everything and there was no leakage in the water supply line passing below the road. He said they had fixed the problem and now the road pit had been repaired properly.
In the past also, at least four incidents have taken place where road portions have caved in at different locations on this stretch. At that time also the civic body officials had blamed the underground cables for the caving in incidents but despite that they did nothing to find a permanent solution to the problem.
