No casualties were reported as the driver jumped off at the right time. However, if the the vehicle has overturned it could have been a big accident.

Traffic on the busy route remained disrupted for hours as drivers and passersby struggled to move the vehicle. It was finally pulled out with the help of two JCB machines. After the dumper was removed, a massive pit was left in the middle of the road, posing a fresh hazard.

In one instance, a biker lost control and skidded into the pit but was rescued by bystanders before he could fall deeper. The incident sparked anger among residents and commuters, who lashed out at the administration over the poor condition of city roads.

According to a local, Asif who lives nearby, a few years ago a youth had lost his life after falling into a pothole in Anand Nagar. ‘Even then the authorities did not learn a lesson,’ he said.”

Ram Swaroop, another resident, said, “Just last week, a truck was stuck on the Anand Nagar main road. Road construction is being done with poor quality materials, and it is the public that suffers.”
