Gurugram (Haryana): At least two people were injured when a section of a 6-km-long under-construction flyover collapsed in Gurugram's Sohna Road on Saturday evening.
The incident occurred when three girders installed recently between two pillars came crashing down in front of Vipul Greens condominium.
The police have cordoned off the accident site on the usually busy Sohna Road as excavator vehicles try to remove the huge concrete blocks.
Haryana deputy chief minister Dushyant Chautala tweeted that the injured have been admitted and are undergoing treatment. NHAI team, SDM, and civil defense team are at site, he added.

The 21.66 km-long Sohna road project is being constructed in two packages. The first part comprises an underpass and an elevated road from Subash Chowk towards Badshahpur covering 6 km. The section that collapsed was a part of the first package.
The second part comprises the expansion of the 12.72 km road from Badshahpur to Sohna and involves the construction of flyovers and underpasses at major crossings to ensure smooth movement of vehicles on the entire stretch. The deadline for both these projects is July, 2021.
