The red light pole suddenly fell onto the road as vehicles were passing through the area
Two people, including a child, were injured after a traffic pole suddenly collapsed onto the road in Delhi’s Connaught Place on Tuesday, trapping an auto-rickshaw and a scooter passing through the area, police said.
The incident took place near Minto Bridge along the Outer Circle of Connaught Place, triggering panic among the commuters.
A scooter rider and a child who was travelling in the auto-rickshaw were injured, a police official said. No fatalities were reported.
The cause of the collapse is being ascertained. Some people at the spot alleged that the pole was rusted which could have contributed to its fall.
