A heartbreaking incident occurred on Monday when a seven-year-old boy, who was accompanying his father to get breakfast, fell into an open manhole and lost his life. According to eyewitnesses, the child was walking slightly ahead of his father when he suddenly slipped into the uncovered sewer line.
Local residents rushed to help, and rescue teams were called immediately. After an intense search operation, the boy was recovered but could not survive. The incident left the entire neighborhood in shock, with many blaming civic authorities for negligence.
Residents said they had repeatedly complained about the uncovered manhole, but no action had been taken. The tragedy has sparked anger and demands for strict accountability against those responsible for maintenance failures.
Officials have launched an inquiry to determine why the manhole was left open and whether timely action could have prevented the child’s death.
