Lucknow: A brief comment of Public Works regarding the road sinking at Power House intersection on the road from Gulachin Temple to Labor Adda via Shiv Temple on Lucknow-Kursi-Mahmoodabad road in Lucknow city.
On 07 July 2024, at around 2:00 pm, the road suddenly collapsed at Power House intersection of the road from Gulachin Temple to Labor Adda via Shiv Temple in 5 meters length, about 5 meters width and about 5 meters depth, due to which the traffic movement on the road became unsafe. The engineers in charge of the Public Works Department immediately took cognizance of the incident and reached the spot and conducted a site inspection. In the site inspection, it was found that due to continuous water leakage from the trunk sewer line of Jal Nigam lying deep below the coated surface of the road, the soil beneath the road gradually sank, due to which the base of the road got damaged and the road suddenly collapsed. The working agency of Jal Nigam was called to the work site for immediate repair of this damaged part. The working agency of Jal Nigam, Suez Company, has started the work of repairing the leakage from the sewer line by barricading the road. After the repair of the leakage from the sewer line by Jal Nigam, the restoration work will be done. As soon as the restoration work is completed, the Public Works Department will complete the repair work of the road.
