Mon Feb 24 20:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Delhi Road Collapse Traps Car, Highlights Infrastructure Concerns
**NEW DELHI** – A section of a service road in Dwarka, Sector 12, collapsed Monday night, causing a car to plunge into a large pit and creating significant traffic disruption. While two occupants of the vehicle escaped without injury, the incident has reignited concerns about the state of Delhi’s infrastructure.
The collapse occurred near KM Chowk, prompting a swift response from the Delhi Fire Department, which dispatched two fire engines. However, by the time they arrived, local residents had already helped the trapped individuals from the car. The vehicle was subsequently recovered.
Authorities are investigating the cause of the collapse, but suspect that water damage or substandard construction may be to blame. The incident, captured on video and widely circulated online, has drawn criticism from political figures. Former AAP MLA Gulab Singh Yadav, in a post on X, attributed the incident to poor governance and urged Delhi residents to brace themselves for five years of similar issues under the BJP’s rule.
The incident underscores ongoing concerns about the condition of roads and infrastructure within the nation’s capital. The significant traffic congestion caused by the collapse further highlights the potential impact of such infrastructure failures on daily life in Delhi.
