Claim: Video of water spouting out of cracks on a road in India.
Fact-check: A video from Guatemala is falsely shared as water spouting out of cracks on a road in India - FACTLY
Verdict: the video is from guatemala, a country in central america, not india. according to reports, heavy rains on 12 september 2024 caused drains to collapse, sinkholes to form, and landslides in various parts of the guatemala. the water reportedly came from a damaged pipe crossing underneath national route ca-9 at kilometer 14 on the pacific route. villa nueva's mayor, mynor morales zurita, has requested the ministry of communications, infrastructure, and housing to take action. the video has no connection to india. hence, the claim in the post is false.
