Road collapse causes damage to house, shop in Ahmedabad

Updated: Nov 12th, 2024


In Usmanpura village of Ahmedabad, a house and a small shop were damaged due to a road collapse on Monday around 11 am.

The collapse occurred after damage to an old duct line in the area. The duct line, which passes by a canal built in 1960, caused the road to sink, damaging a house and the shop.

As soon as the road collapsed, the fire brigade team was notified. The fire personnel rescued the house inmates.

According to sources, seven partially built-illegally houses were constructed on the site.

Rishi Pandya, additional chief engineer of the West Zone, stated that the road collapse was a result of the breakdown of the duct line.

Following the incident, the Amdavad Municipal Corporation (AMC) sealed the area and halted movement on the road around 12.25 pm.

Repair work for the duct line began on Monday night and is expected to take about a month.
