The incident brought back memories of the January 18 incident in Noida’s Sector 150 when a techie lost his life after his car plunged into a water-filled pit, which had been dug for the construction of a society.

The death of Yuvraj Mehta triggered public outrage and forced several actions at the Noida authority level. While the incident highlighted gaps in construction-related safety, it also brought to the fore the underpreparedness and delayed response of the local authority in saving the life of the techie, who kept waiting for help for about two hours.

The death of a biker in Delhi’s Janakpuri area also triggered outrage a few days ago. The motorcyclist died after his bike plunged into a deep pit dug for pipeline work by the Delhi Jal Board. It was alleged that the pit was not barricaded and there were no warning signs.
