The road reportedly sank over a stretch of more than 100 meters, putting several motorists at risk. Fortunately, commuters passing through the area managed to escape unharmed.

The affected stretch is considered highly important from both civic and strategic perspectives. It serves as a crucial route for people traveling to the Ayodhya Cantt Railway Station, the postmortem house, and various government offices, including the BJP office.

According to PWD Executive Engineer S.P. Bhartiya, the sewer pipeline work was carried out by the Jal Nigam. Ideally, sand should have been used to cover the pipeline, but soil was used instead. A leakage in the pipeline caused the soil to erode over time, leaving the road hollow beneath the surface, which eventually led to the collapse.
Repair work begins on a war footing
Taking the situation seriously, senior officials from the Public Works Department and Jal Nigam reached the site by evening. The area was immediately barricaded to ensure safety, and restoration work began on a war footing.
