A newly repaired road in Devri collapsed within five days, prompting criticism of the Public Works Department's handling of the project.
A road in the town of Devri gave way just five days after the Public Works Department (PWD) completed repairs, according to local reports. The collapse was observed by residents who had recently begun using the stretch of road.
Authorities have not reported any injuries or major traffic disruptions, but the incident has drawn immediate attention to the quality of the recent work. Engineers and officials are being asked to explain how a newly repaired surface could fail so quickly.
The sudden failure has intensified scrutiny of the PWD's project oversight and construction standards. Local leaders have called for a thorough investigation to determine whether substandard materials, inadequate curing time, or procedural lapses contributed to the breakdown.
As of now, the PWD has not released an official statement, and repair crews have been dispatched to assess the damage and secure the site pending further action.
