An elderly man lost his life after falling into an open manhole in Mumbai's Sakinaka area during the ongoing monsoon rains. The tragic incident exposes severe civic negligence, as the drain was allegedly left open to prevent waterlogging, but without any barricades or safety nets. The tragedy sparked a massive uproar in the Maharashtra Assembly, where legislators fiercely condemned the municipal administration and demanded strict accountability for the ongoing infrastructure failures.
The Assembly Speaker ordered the filing of a culpable homicide case against the responsible officials and contractors. This incident closely follows another recent monsoon-related tragedy in the city, where a young boy died after a tree collapsed on a school bus. The repeated civic failures and lack of safety measures have raised serious questions about the city's crumbling infrastructure, putting the lives of residents at severe risk during heavy downpours.
