On record
On August 2, 2026, a section of the Garage Square-Ravi Talkies road in Bhubaneswar suddenly caved in, leaving a 5-6-foot-deep crater that a motorcyclist narrowly escaped, while the same day the ₹22-crore, 10-km Balanga-Haripur road near Deuli village in Puri collapsed under a sand-laden truck, overturning it.
The official record states: "Not specified: the public works department and contractor had issued no statement at the time of reporting."
