Summary:
A portion of the well-tarred road caved in leaving Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) and traffic police also in a shock. Many of them fell off their two-wheelers and felt jerks when their vehicles rode on the damaged road. Traffic police put up barricades on the damaged portion after the water was drained out of the road completely. BBMP Zonal Commissioner (Mahadevapura) Randeep D said a contractor associated with Airtel had damaged the water pipe while laying OFC cables, leading to the problem. BBMP officials maintained that this was the first time such an incident happened on the road..
