Less than two weeks after pipeline work was carried out on a section of SV Road near Lucky Junction in Bandra West, the road and metal lid over the pipe caved in, leading to flooding and disrupting traffic flow around 3.30 pm on Friday.

When mid-day looked up the area on Google Maps at 6.47 pm, a 650-m stretch from Turner Road to the junction appeared badly congested. An old water pipeline had been replaced with one measuring 750 mm in diameter on March 29, and by 5 am on March 30, the BMC had successfully laid a tar road over the spot and installed a metal lid.
