New Delhi, Feb 7 || Residents on Saturday expressed concern over the safety lapses at the site where a 25-year-old biker lost his life in Delhi’s Janakpuri area after falling into an open pit.
A local said, “Our house is just in front, in Janta Flats. We have to come here daily three to four times a day. There were no barricades on this side, only two on the other side. The green sheet you can see wasn’t there earlier. Nothing was properly installed. There was no warning for anyone. The area remains dark, which is the biggest issue.”
The incident occurred late on Thursday night when Kamal Dhyani, a 25-year-old bike rider, allegedly fell into an open pit at an ongoing Delhi Jal Board (DJB) project site while returning home from work.
Kamal, a resident of Kailashpuri, had left his office in Rohini to celebrate his parents' wedding anniversary but he never made it back home to his waiting family.
According to Kamal’s friend, he had spoken to him shortly before the incident and he said that he was just 15 minutes away from home.
