India, May 3 -- A section of the Southern Peripheral Road (SPR) caved in on Friday after heavy showers lashed the city early in the morning. The sudden downpour caused waterlogging in several parts of Gurugram and brought traffic across the city to a standstill. Nearly 20 metres of the road in the front of the SPR police post was damaged and the traffic police had to barricade two lanes of the highway from Vatika Chowk to Kherki Daula for repair work, Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) officials said. According to civic officials, a large drain is being constructed along the SPR, which is still incomplete and due to heavy rainfall on Friday the earth settled and damaged the road. The road was later repaired within four hours. To be sure, this is the third time the SPR has caved in. Earlier in 2023, the road was damaged twice due to waterlogging after heavy rainfall in the city. Traffic on the SPR remained affected due to the barricading of two lanes on the carriageway....
