In early September 2026, a sinkhole measuring between 10 and 12 feet deep opened on a main road near Lucknow University following heavy rainfall. A motorcyclist fell into the crater and sustained serious injuries. The incident required the use of a crane to retrieve the vehicle, and the road was closed to traffic due to safety concerns regarding subsidence and the proximity of metro pillars.

Later in the month, a separate incident occurred near the 1050 Chauraha intersection where a motorcycle caught fire while in motion. Fire brigade teams extinguished the blaze, and while no injuries were reported, authorities began investigating potential causes such as a fuel leak or short circuit.
