NEW DELHI:

RTR underpass — a Y-shaped, 1.2-km underpass that connects Benito Juarez Marg with San Martin Marg and Ring Road — was opened in July 2022, but has suffered drainage problems ever since. HT on March 11 reported that the constant trickling of water from the joints of the underpass has made the road surface slippery and accident prone.

The issue of the leakage is currently being probed by three agencies — the Public Works Department (PWD), the Delhi Jal Board (DJB), and the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC).
