No Warning, No Barricades: How A Noida Road Became A Death Trap

Rajkumar Mehta, the father of a techie who drowned in a 70-foot-deep water-filled ditch in Noida's Sector 150 last week, said his son "struggled for two hours" trying to save himself.

Yuvraj Mehta lost control of his car and crashed into a waterlogged construction pit located near a road turn amid dense fog and low visibility on Friday night. According to his father, he received a call from Mehta informing him about the accident. While he and the rescue teams reached the spot within a few minutes, the authorities did not have proper resources to pull his son out, Rajkumar recalled.
