A sinkhole suddenly appeared on the road at the busy Madhya Kailash junction in Chennai on Thursday morning, reports TNM. Traffic police officials barricaded the spot to prevent accidents. But traffic almost came to a standstill at Chennai’s busy Madhya Kailash junction.

Reports suggested that the six-feet deep sinkhole appeared at the tri-junction of Old Mahabalipuram Road, Sardar Patel Road and Gandhi Mandapam.

The junction is close to an area that is home to most of the IT companies in the city and a huge amount of commuters ply on the road. The incident caused traffic jam that ran for almost a kilometre, reports Times Now.

Officials are unclear why the road caved in. Reports also stated that the road caved in due to underground drainage work that was being done close by.  Visuals from the spot also show the leak in the drainage pipe beneath the sinkhole, reports TOI.
