Road cave-in creates 6ft deep crater in Aliganj
1 2 3 Lucknow: A major accident was averted on Saturday after a large crater suddenly formed in the middle of the road in Aliganj's Sector J, just moments after a city bus carrying over three dozen passengers passed. The crater was about 8 ft in radius and 6 ft deep—large enough to engulf a small car. According to officials, the collapse was caused by a damaged underground sewage pipeline located nearly 12 ft below the surface, which led to soil erosion. The road, a busy connector between Purania and Ram Ram Bank Chauraha, is used by over 15,000 commuters daily and falls under the jurisdiction of the Public Works Department (PWD). "A pit about 6 ft deep was formed due to soil erosion, likely caused by leakage in a 600 mm diameter sewer line. The incident occurred around 5:30 pm, and we estimate that repair work will take five to seven days," said a Lucknow Municipal Corporation (LMC) official. Locals, who placed bricks and tree branches to mark the area and prevent accidents, expressed concern over the recurring nature of such incidents. "This is the second cave-in in the area in the last three years," said Manoj Singh, a local. Kundan Singh, a nearby shopkeeper, recalled the moment of collapse: "It felt like an earthquake or explosion. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pinga-Pinga e HBP?

Locals are demanding long-term solutions and stricter monitoring of underground pipelines to prevent further damage. "Repair work on the damaged sewer line is currently in progress and being carried out on priority to prevent any further inconvenience to the public," said additional municipal commissioner Lalit Kumar. "Our teams are working round-the-clock to complete the restoration of the underground pipeline, which was likely damaged due to erosion caused by leakage. Once this underground repair is completed and the site is secured, we will formally inform the PWD to begin mending and resurfacing the road. Ensuring public safety and restoring normal traffic movement is our priority," he said. Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .
