On record
A massive, roughly 12-foot-deep crater suddenly opened up on MI Road, one of the city's busiest streets, after continuous heavy rains, forcing emergency barricading and repair. It was widely shared on video as an example of the poor state of Jaipur's road infrastructure under monsoon stress.
The official record states: "Attributed informally to "heavy rains and substandard construction"; no formal departmental inquiry outcome was reported."

“Twelve feet of crater on Jaipur's busiest commercial road, opened during an afternoon of rain.”
“Walked past the barricades on MI Road the next morning. The hole was deeper than the shopfronts beside it are tall.”
“Nobody has published an inquiry, so the rain and the construction quality are sharing the credit informally.”
