“Traffic Alert:- Traffic congestion has been reported on NH-48 near Rajiv chowk towards Delhi due to vehicle accident .Our traffic officials present on the spot to facilitate the traffic.@gurgaonpolice,” read the tweet by Gurugram Traffic Police.

Disruption in traffic movement was first reported on July 30 near Manesar chowk towards Jaipur due to waterlogging following heavy rainfall.

On Sunday, a portion of the flyover on the Gurugram-Jaipur Expressway fell on the road below and damaged the road, officials said.

A three-foot block from the flyover at the Shikopur crossing fell after cracks appeared in it. A major accident was averted because there was not much traffic on the road at the time.

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) swung into action and barricaded the portion of the flyover to start the repair work. The NHAI has also ordered an inquiry into the incident.

"A probe is on and action will be taken in accordance with the report," NHAI director Ajay Arya told news agency PTI. The Rampur flyover has previously been damaged twice.
