Noida Drain Accident: Survivor Reveals 'No Sign Boards' as Techie Dies

  • Yuvraj Mehta, a 27-year-old techie, died of cardiac arrest after his SUV crashed into a 70-foot-deep flooded drain in Noida's Sector-150.
  • Despite efforts by police, divers, and NDRF, Mehta's body was recovered hours later, sparking public outrage over safety.
  • Noida authority terminated a junior engineer and issued show-cause notices to other officials responsible for traffic works.
  • Truck driver Gurwinder Singh, a survivor of a similar accident at the same site on January 1, recounted his ordeal.
  • Singh stated that due to fog and lack of warning signs, his vehicle also plunged into the drain, highlighting the absence of safety measures.

Why It Matters: Lack of warning signs at a Noida drain led to a techie's death and a truck driver's prior accident.
