A sixty-year-old man died after falling into an open stormwater drain during heavy monsoon rains in Mumbai. The incident, captured on CCTV, occurred as the victim walked through an inundated area where the manhole was left open without barricading or safety nets. Despite a rescue operation that lasted nearly three hours, he could not be saved and was found in another section of the drainage system.
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation pinned the blame on the contractor responsible for the cleaning work, promising strict action for the safety lapse. The lack of basic safety measures has sparked anger among local residents and the political opposition. The fatality highlights infrastructure and safety failures in the city during the monsoon season, raising questions about the civic body's repeated assurances of rain management and safe roads.
