Gurugram Professor Rescued After Car Drops Into Unmarked Road Pit

Residents report a months-old trench lacked barricades despite repeated complaints to city agencies.

Overview

  • The crash on Monday night on Galleria Road in Sushant Lok-1 sent a Sushant University department head’s car into a deep pit, and locals pulled her out shaken but not seriously hurt.
  • The excavation had no barricades, warning signs, or reflectors, according to eyewitnesses at the scene.
  • Neighbors say the trench had been left open for months despite complaints to the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority and the municipal corporation.
  • The professor says she will file formal complaints with police and the two civic bodies to hold those in charge accountable.
  • By Tuesday morning, only makeshift bricks marked the hole and officials had not announced a repair timeline, highlighting wider concerns in Gurugram over unfinished utility work and open digs on busy roads.
