A bizarre incident unfolded when an employee involved in the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway project claimed that rats were the culprits behind a section of the road caving in at Rajasthan’s Dausa district! The employee, who claimed to be the Maintenance Manager, said small animals might have dug holes, causing water to seep in and weaken the road.
However, his company, KCC Buildcon, was quick to respond, clarifying that the individual was junior staff and lacked technical knowledge. The employee has since been terminated.
🛠️ What Really Happened?
According to Balveer Yadav, the project director, the road caved in due to a water leak—not because of any rodent mischief. The damaged section was swiftly repaired and secured to avoid further issues.
