The incident took place in Lucknow on September 12.
Visuals showed a section of the road had fractured after the rain, causing it to cave in inward. The collapse created a noticeable dip, with the road surface appearing cracked and uneven. Debris and damaged pavement were scattered around the affected area, highlighting the severity of the erosion caused by the heavy rainfall.
