The Earth continued her subterranean war on the human race this week, opening a sinkhole in Mumbai and devouring a car in it.
It turns out that the water was from a well, over which people erected a concrete slab.
The residents said the building was constructed more than 80 years ago and the concrete portion around 40 years ago. It was built over a well that supplies water to the residents of Ramnivas building.
“Half of the well was covered with the concrete portion, while a part of it was kept open. Everyone parks cars there, and this is the first time that a portion of it caved in,” said [car owner] Doshi.
