Road Cave-In Near Lucknow MP's Residence Injures Two Amid Heavy Rainfall
A road near Lucknow University's LESA sub-division office and former deputy chief minister Dinesh Sharma's residence caved in amid continuous rainfall, creating a 6 to 8-foot-deep pit. Two motorcyclists, including Nitin Prajapati and his brother, fell into the hole, resulting in injuries and hospitalization. Police and municipal officials cordoned off the area and installed barricades. Preliminary reports suggest the cave-in may have been caused by an underground pipeline leak or drain seepage eroding the soil, affecting local commuters and pedestrians.
