Following the continuous rainfall, a portion of the road along with the footpath near the Dhansa Stand Metro Station caved in and a truck also fell into deep pit on the intervening night of Wednesday-Thursday.
According to police, a police control room (PCR) call was received about the incident at around 1 am. Due to incessant rainfall Wednesday night, the road had caved in and rainwater entered inside many shops and buildings in the adjoining area.
“A truck fell into the caved portion of the road. But no injury or loss of life was reported.
The truck was taken out by the authorities concerned and the State Disaster Response Force was also informed about the incident,” said a senior police official adding that people residing in three buildings near the spot were evacuated safely.
