This has occurred following a cave-in of a road in Sector 45 in Chandigarh which had not been repaired by a junior engineer following which the Municipal Corporation (MC) has suspended the junior engineer. No major repairs were done at the site despite several complaints of the local residents and the increase of safety concerns. The report has brought about anger among the citizens, and this has formed a poorly functional and slow civil reaction towards the damage of crucial infrastructure.
The officials of MC stated that such suspension was needed because of a gross negligence in duty and late response to the situation at hand. The collapsed portion was a pest to the commuters and a great threat in monsoons. The news is courtesy times when the civic body is facing more heat over bad road conditions in the city and more residents are demanding faster and more responsible action by the authorities.
