Teams from the Provincial Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD) arrived at the scene and conducted detailed examinations around the sinkhole. Mehmet Bayram, President of the Karaman Chamber of Agriculture, noted that the region is close to the Karapınar district of Konya and that sinkhole formations are frequently seen there.

Emphasizing that the number of sinkholes in the city has increased rapidly in recent years, Bayram said, "The sinkhole formed at a point quite close to the village, and this situation is very concerning. The main reason is the depletion of groundwater."
