No one was injured but a few vehicles were damaged. Traffic on the carriage was disrupted for over an hour and the congestion stretched for a few kilometres.Workers of the contractual firm, besides a team from highway safety patrol’s Borghat unit, were pressed into service to fix the issue. Traffic resumed after the debris was cleared and the lanes were opened in a phased manner. The incident raised safety concerns among motorists. Many demanded an inspection of tunnel works to assess its structural stability. —Umesh K Parida
