Noida Techie Drowns: Systemic Failure Blamed for Yuvraj Mehta's Tragic Death

• Software engineer Yuvraj Mehta drowned in a waterlogged ditch in Noida's Sector-150 after his car fell in.
• Despite 80 rescuers present, including police, fire brigade, SDRF, and NDRF, no one entered the water, citing cold water and potential rebar.
• Yuvraj's father witnessed his son flashing a mobile light for help for two hours, while officials hesitated.
• The accident site was a result of a 10-year bureaucratic delay in a 10.5 crore project to divert water, turning it into a 'pond of death'.
• Noida Authority CEO Lokesh M. was removed, a Junior Engineer suspended, and an SIT formed to investigate the incident.

Why It Matters: Yuvraj Mehta's death highlights severe systemic failures, bureaucratic delays, and official apathy in Noida.
