On record
An RCC culvert on the BCT Road failed under continuous heavy rainfall in August 2026, causing road inundation and forcing the District Magistrate to shut the stretch to all but emergency vehicles under the Disaster Management Act.
The official record states: "Officials attributed the failure to "continuous heavy rainfall...and the collapse of an RCC culvert," with no further technical explanation given."
“A culvert failure that needed the Disaster Management Act to close a road, an unusual promotion for a culvert.”— Blunderlust Editorial Desk
