A sinkhole on Sohna Road in Gurugram, India, has expanded significantly, growing from 10-12 square feet to 25-30 square feet just a day after a sewer line collapse. This incident is notable as it marks the sixth collapse in the same stretch over the past three years. Officials from the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) are working together to address the issue. The NHAI has barricaded the affected area and closed off about 100 meters of one lane on the Gurugram-Sohna carriageway. Repair plans include diverting sewage flow to facilitate the repairs, which will utilize the Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP) method to strengthen the dilapidated sewer line that has been in place for approximately 30 years. The agencies aim to complete the repairs as soon as possible to restore normal traffic flow.
