FACT CHECK

NewsMobile fact-checked the viral post, and found it to be false.

Conducting a Reverse Image Search using the Google Lens, our team came to know that the picture is from Dubai. It was posted on a Facebook page, Amazing Dubai, in December 2024, identifying it as Dubai’s Sheikh Zayed Road.

The Adobe stock also carries the same photograph, dated May 2019, identifying it as Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai. This highway is a prominent landmark in Dubai, known for its stunning architecture and towering buildings flanking both sides of the road.

We found a similar image of the highway on Alamy as well.

Therefore, we can conclusively say that the viral post, claiming to show the Lucknow-Kanpur highway, is false.
