Singapore: Lady driver pulled out of sinkhole by Indian man, other workers
Agency: PTI Last Updated: Singapore, Jul 27 (PTI) A 46-year-old Indian foreman was among several workers who rescued a woman from her car after it fell into a sinkhole in Singapore, according to a media report on Sunday. The sinkhole developed along the city-state's Tanjong Katong Road South thoroughfare on Saturday, Channel News Asia reported. Sinkholes are rare on Singapore roads. Pitchai Udaiyappan Subbiah, a foreman, was working at a nearby site when the car fell into a sinkhole. 'I leaned in to see if there were people in the car, and I saw one person come out of the car," the report quoted him as saying. 'I immediately said that we had to rescue her," said Subbiah, who spoke in both Tamil and English. He, along with other workers, used a rope to pull the driver of the car to safety. Some workers had wanted to go into the sinkhole to pull the woman up, but Subbiah advised against it, telling them to throw a rope down instead. 'You go down, you also cannot climb up," he said. According to the report, the sinkhole was initially dry, but water began to flow in later. The Land Transport Authority said early Sunday morning that the road will be closed until further notice and that it is working with the Public Utilities Board and the Building and Construction Authority to monitor the repairs. It added that preliminary checks indicate that surrounding buildings are not affected.

Sotefin Bharat plans ₹80 crore IPO to build parking robot unit for automated parking in Bengal
Swiss automated parking solutions major Sotefin SA's Indian subsidiary, Sotefin Bharat, on Sunday said it will hit the capital market to raise ₹80 crore to support indigenous manufacturing of robots for automated parking systems in West Bengal. The entire issue will be a fresh equity offer, with no stake dilution by the promoters or existing PE funds, a top company official said. "We are in the process of launching an IPO, which will help us become Atmanirbhar in the production of robots used in automated parking systems. The robot manufacturing facility will require around ₹40 crore, while the remaining ₹40 crore will be largely used for debt reduction and enhancing working capital to undertake larger projects," Sotefin Bharat Managing Director & CEO Arup Choudhuri told PTI. The company has announced a new manufacturing facility at Bagnan in West Bengal's Howrah district, entailing an investment of approximately ₹40 crore. Once fully operational with in-house robotic manufacturing capabilities, the state-of-the-art plant is expected to create over 100 jobs and significantly boost Sotefin Bharat's production capacity, Choudhuri said. The facility is projected to support the creation of over 10,000 automated car parks or 25 automated parking projects per year, he added. The equity structure of the company is evenly held by two Indian promoters-Arup Choudhuri and Jignesh Sanghvi-Swiss partner Sotefin SA, and a clutch of PE funds, each holding 25 per cent. Post IPO, the fresh issue will dilute all existing promoter holdings by 6.25 per cent, taking public shareholding to nearly 25-26 per cent, Choudhuri said. The listing will also help unlock value, and the company is currently working with merchant bankers to prepare the Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP), which is expected to be filed with the regulator within a month. The company has also started exporting its systems to the US and Dubai, officials said. "Our order book currently stands at ₹1,000 crore, which should support a 50-60 per cent growth over the next 3-4 years," said Executive Director Jignesh Sanghvi.
