On record
A section of the busy Bengaluru-Hosur stretch of National Highway 44 near Attibele caved in on February 4, 2026, opening a large crater in the carriageway and crippling traffic on one of the city's key routes toward Tamil Nadu. The collapse forced long detours and hours of gridlock on the Bengaluru-Hosur corridor.
The official record states: "Not specified."

“Left for Hosur and spent the morning on a detour instead. The crater on NH-44 was the only thing moving quickly, downwards.”
“Sat in the Attibele gridlock looking at a hole in a national highway. Plenty of time to consider how it got there.”
“One of the busiest routes out of the city, opened up mid-carriageway. No explanation was offered and none has arrived since.”
