Agra: Four individuals from Uttar Pradesh's Fatehpur Sikri died, and two were critically injured, when a pile of earth collapsed at a pipeline excavation site in Bharatpur, Rajasthan, on Sunday morning. The victims, all from Uttar Pradesh, were reportedly collecting yellow clay for plastering homes when the accident occurred around 8:30 AM.
