Mumbai: Significant Action Initiated Following Tragic Death Of Woman In Manhole, High-Level Committee Formed To Conduct Thorough Investigation | ABP News

In Mumbai, yet another tragedy has occurred due to an open manhole, claiming the life of a 45-year-old woman after heavy rainfall lashed the city last night. As Mumbai experienced torrential downpours, roads transformed into rivers, with standing water concealing an open manhole that became the cause of this unfortunate incident. Despite being the country’s financial capital, questions arise about the accountability of the system. Will any action be taken in this case? Investigative committees often yield inconclusive results, and skepticism remains about the effectiveness of future findings. The committee has been given three days to submit its report, but the real concern is whether any substantial actions will follow. It raises fundamental questions about the maintenance of infrastructure and the responsibilities of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) in ensuring public safety. How long will such negligence continue to cost lives?
