New Delhi: (Geetesh Ujjainwal Intern Journalist) A body was found near waterlogged Minto Bridge today. It was retrieved by a trackman working at New Delhi yard. Ramniwas Meena says, “I spotted the body while I was on duty at the tracks. I came down, swam & retrieved it. The body was floating in front of a bus.”
A man identified as Kundan, about 60-yr-old, was driving towards CP this morning. He tried to maneuver his vehicle through the waterlogged underpass but apparently couldn’t succeed. Seems he died of drowning. No external injury marks.
North Delhi Mayor Jai Prakash said that such incidents will continue to occur until Delhi govt gets rid of its irresponsible attitude. The CM should take responsibility & announce an ex gratia for the kin of the deceased. The govt should ensure that such incidents don’t happen again.
