The development comes three days after waterlogging and road cave-ins were reported at several places on the newly constructed Rampath in Ayodhya.
The six government officials were identified as Dhruv Aggarwal, Anuj Deshwal and Prabhat Pandey, Anand Kumar Dubey, Rajendra Kumar Yadav (assistant engineer) and Mohammad Shahid.
