Dwarka Expressway Underpass Closed for Repairs
Imagine a tunnel under a highway, like a shortcut.
This tunnel, in Gurgaon, has a water leak.
Engineers are fixing the leak by injecting a special substance that hardens quickly.
First, they closed one side of the tunnel, then the other, so they could work without causing too much traffic.
The repairs are happening because experts found water leaking through joints.
They're using a special method to stop the water.
The tunnel cost a lot of money to build and is important for helping people get around more easily.
They hope the repairs will ensure the tunnel lasts longer.
