New Delhi:
An eight-feet pothole on the controversial Bus Rapid Transport Corridor in south Delhi turned into a deadly trap for a biker who hit it and was thrown a few metres away on Saturday night.
"Accidents do happen. We will look into what happened. We will not overlook it. We will conduct an inquiry into it," said Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit.
Just a few kilometre from the site, was the place where Metro mishap took place recently, killing six people after an under-construction flyover collapsed. In this case the contractor blames it on last week's rains.
"If the soil beneath the road gives way, the surface is bound to get affected," said R P Singh, senior project manager, BSC-C&C, Joint Venture Construction Company.
The BRT has been a controversial project right from the beginning, but the Delhi government has always supported it. During the Delhi elections the BJP tried to rake up the issue. It didn't work for them, but with Phase-II of the corridor to be functional from September 1, the Delhi government has a lot to answer.
