A water pipeline burst in Jamshedpur early this morning, creating traffic problems and wasting a lot of water. The break happened near the Mango bridge at Gandhi Ghat. A machine called a JCB, used for digging, was working on a new flyover and accidentally hit the pipeline, which is owned by Tata Steel UISL.
The broken pipe caused water to flood the area for about four hours, especially near the Mango small bridge. As a result, police officers had to stop cars from using the bridge, which made traffic move very slowly. Because the water was flowing so strongly, it was hard for vehicles to get through.
A police officer at the scene said that they have the situation under control. However, they are asking people to find other ways to travel until the pipeline is fixed. Tata Steel UISL is currently working to repair the damaged pipeline.
It’s still unclear how long the repairs will take. In the meantime, commuters should expect delays and plan their routes accordingly. Authorities are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible and restore normal traffic flow.
