Ahmedabad: Road caves in at Surdhara Circle

AHMEDABAD: A portion of the road caved in at Surdhara Circle in Thaltej ward. It was ostensibly caused by a leak in a recently-laid drainage line.
Officials said that as soon as the cave-in was reported, the area was barricaded and the leak discovered. Officials also said that the contractor for the work had not properly filled in the area, which led to the cave-in.
Officials said the cave-in was not a big one, and was about 1.5 feet deep and was would be easily filled. They said the road will be motorable again in 24 hours. An officer added that the leak had also been plugged. Officials said that they are also checking the strength of the road nearby to ensure no more cave-ins take place.
