New Delhi: A house disappeared into a sinkhole in Delhi’s Anna nagar area here as heavy rains lashed the national capital on Sunday morning.
The sinkhole got formed on the road within two hours of the rainfall and the house adjoining it collapsed.
Sharing the video of the house getting washed away in the rain, a Twitter user remarked “No, it’s not Bihar, this is our national capital New Delhi after merely two hours of heavy rainfall. One person drowned at Minto Road, houses washed away in sink hole near ITO, neck deep waterlogged streets. It was supposed to be a ‘ world class city’!”
