Portion of road caves in
The Hindu
Residents say it is common during monsoon
A portion of the R.K. Mutt Road at Mylapore caved in on Saturday because of weakening of sewer line.
Residents of Mylapore and Mandaveli said this was the second case of the road cave-in in the area where vehicular traffic was hit.
C.R. Balaji of Mandaveli said this part of the road collapsed regularly every monsoon because of old sewer pipeline that carried sewage in Mylapore and Mandaveli. “It often affects traffic. Only temporary solution is found every time the road collapses. We need a permanent solution to replace the entire pipeline with larger capacity.”

The High Court of Karnataka on Tuesday ordered the issue of a notice to the State government on a PIL petition, which had complained about disturbances caused to people residing in the localities around the National Public School situated in Rajajinagar 5th block due to use of loudspeakers with high volume in the school and parking of school buses in residential areas.
