# Three Agra road cave-ins after heavy rain, 20 feet deep 2026-08-08T07:41:20+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Agra has reported three road cave-ins in a week after heavy August rains, with gaps nearly 20 feet deep at Karamyogi Enclave, Moti Katra and Tajganj. This is the second such collapse at Karamyogi Enclave in a month. Samajwadi Party leader Nitin Kohli climbed into the pit using stairs and criticised the Smart City project. An autorickshaw carrying five passengers overturned in Peelikhar after hitting a water-filled ditch, injuring a girl student. Agra Nagar Nigam chief engineer Arvind Srivastava said leakage in old sewer lines washes away soil beneath the road, causing collapse. The civic body has started repair work and promised to replace ageing sewer lines. The incidents come days after NHAI cracked down on the Lucknow-Kanpur Expressway concessionaire for cracks. ## Coverage - ndtv.com - hindustantimes.com Tags: Agra road cave-in, infrastructure, NHAI, road safety, Samajwadi Party, Uttar Pradesh Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/agra-road-caves-in-samajwadi-leader-climbs-into-pit/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
