NH-48 Road Cave-In Due to Heavy Rainfall

A portion of the road at Delhi-Jaipur stretch of NH-48 near Narsinghpur collapsed after heavy rainfall. This led to the closure of two lanes, resulting in an around 8-km-long traffic jam from Hero Honda Chowk to the Kherki Daula Toll Plaza.

According to the reports, the road caved in between 3 pm and 4 pm. The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) was installing drainage pipes under the road which weakened the soil. Heavy rainwater entered the area and caused the road to collapse.

Though the damaged stretch has been repaired but the two lanes remain closed.
