According to preliminary information, the cave-in was caused by a ‘crown breakdown’ (failure of the upper section) in a 900-mm-diameter drainage line running beneath the road. The drainage line is located at a depth of approximately 18 to 20 feet. Traffic was also affected after the road collapsed on this busy stretch opposite Vaishali Township and APMC Market.

Senior officials of the Municipal Corporation and zonal staff rushed to the spot soon after the incident was reported. The affected area has been barricaded as a precaution to prevent any further accidents. Restoration work, including filling the sinkhole and removing the stranded truck, is currently underway.
