Authorities repairing the sinkhole on the Madinaguda road
Hyderabad: Commuters in Miyapur experienced significant disruptions at Madinaguda Main Road due to a large sinkhole that formed after a section of the road caved in.
A sudden road collapse at Deepthisree Nagar in MIiyapur led to the formation of a sinkhole at 3 PM on Friday September 13. The sinkhole is about 3 meters wide and 3 meters deep, forcing authorities to immediately set up barricades and halt traffic to prevent accidents.
The road is a busy route for vehicles traveling towards Managar, Prashantnagar, JPNR, and Bollaram, with several schools nearby. A major disaster was averted as locals noticed the sinkhole before school dismissal, likely preventing harm to schoolchildren and vans.
Officials suspect that a burst Nala pipeline adjacent to the road may have caused the sinkhole, with water leakage weakening the ground beneath. Immediate repair work is expected to start soon.
