Smart City Road Repeatedly Caves In Near Bareilly College — photo 1

On record

A road built under Bareilly's Smart City project caved in near Bareilly College, creating a large pothole, the second collapse recorded at this exact location, exposing weak sewer infrastructure beneath the surface work.

The official record states: "Municipal Commissioner Sanjeev Kumar Maurya said "the sewer line choking caused a section of the road to cave in.""

“The same spot caved in twice. The sewer beneath it was never part of the smart bit.”— Blunderlust Editorial Desk

Visitor reviews Satire

“Same spot outside Bareilly College, second cave-in. The road is smart; the sewer under it was never invited to the project.”
XS X. Saxena · Bareilly★★★★★
“Walked around a crater on a road that was resurfaced under a scheme with the word smart in the title.”
HV H. Varghese · Bareilly★★★★★
“The commissioner says a choked sewer line did it. The sewer line has now done it twice and remains choked.”

Smart City Footpaths Smashed by Drain-Cleaning Machinery

Premium footpath tiles installed in 2022 under the Smart City project are being smashed by JCBs and chain machines during routine drain-cleaning instead of careful removal and reuse, destroying crores worth of civic investment.
