On record
A newly built ₹500-crore stretch of Bengaluru's Major Arterial Road near Kadabagere developed multiple large sinkholes across a 20-metre stretch just days before its scheduled inauguration on June 27, 2026. A viral video showed gaping craters on the still-uninaugurated road, which remained under contractor control and had not yet been formally handed over to the BDA.
The official record states: "The Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) dismissed the viral video as "misleading" without offering a detailed technical explanation for the sinkholes."

“Went to see a road that had not been inaugurated yet and found holes in it big enough to stand in. Early access, of a sort.”
“Twenty metres of fresh tarmac with several craters in it, and an authority insisting the video of them is the misleading part.”
“Still under the contractor, not yet handed to the BDA, already subsiding. Nobody has to own it, which is the clever bit.”
