Delhi News: Link to the Death in Janakpuri Before
This is the second time this has happened in less than a week. Kamal Dhyani, a 25-year-old biker, fell into a Delhi Jal Board pit that was 15 to 20 feet deep in Janakpuri on February 6 while riding home. Both events show how often the city fails to conceal exposed drains and excavation pits.
Anger from the public and response from officials
People in Delhi are angry about the recurrent dangers to their infrastructure. People want the MCD and DDA, two of the city’s municipal agencies, to be held responsible for not securing open drains and pits while development is going on. Officials have blocked up the Rohini site for an investigation, but there have been no reports of quick suspensions or other actions to fix the problem.
More and more people are worried about safety
People who care about safety in cities say that these events show how careless Delhi’s civic infrastructure is as a whole. Open pits and drains without barriers are still quite dangerous for pedestrians and commuters, which shows how important it is for civic bodies to keep a close eye on them and fix them quickly.
