A very scary and heart-wrenching incident has come to light from Noida, the industrial hub of Uttar Pradesh adjacent to National Capital Region (NCR) Delhi, due to the first heavy rains of the season and exposing the gross negligence of the local administration. After heavy rains, a major and busy underpass of the city was suddenly filled with water more than five feet deep, due to which a car passing through it suddenly got stuck in the flood water. Water started filling rapidly inside the car and the situation became so terrible that the breath of the car riders got stuck. To save their lives, they broke the glass of the car from inside and swam out with great difficulty to save their lives. After this sensational incident, there is a lot of anger among the local citizens and drivers against the district administration and Noida Authority, because even with a little rain, the underpasses of the city turn into artificial lakes and there is always a possibility of any major accident. Let us know in detail today how this dreadful accident happened in this underpass of Noida and how the claims of the administration were exposed.
According to information received from eyewitnesses and local people of the incident, after a few hours of torrential rain in Noida, a serious problem of waterlogging arose due to no proper arrangement for drainage of water in the low-lying areas and underpasses of the city. Generally, every year during the monsoon or heavy rainy season, there is a chronic problem of water filling in these underpasses, despite which the authority does not make proper arrangements for drainage system. When the victimized car riders were returning to office or home on their daily route, they had no idea that the water level inside the underpass had become more than five feet deep. As soon as his car reached the middle of the underpass, the engine stopped due to being submerged in water and muddy water from all sides started rapidly entering the car. The doors of the car got locked due to the heavy pressure of water and were not opening, due to which the lives of the people sitting inside the car were in danger.
When the water inside the car started filling the throat and a situation like suffocation arose, the people in the car showed wisdom and somehow broke the glass of the car and came out through the window to save their lives. When nearby pedestrians and local shopkeepers saw a car sinking in the middle of the underpass, they immediately ran to help and pulled out the trapped people safely using ropes and other means. The good thing was that the people in the car managed to get out in time, otherwise a big and painful accident could have happened. The video of this entire incident is becoming increasingly viral on social media, in which the sinking car and the screams of the people trapped in it can be clearly seen. After this video surfaced, anger among the people of Noida towards the administration has increased further.
After this painful and eye-opening incident, the claims of Noida Authority and Traffic Police have once again been exposed in which they claim to make concrete arrangements to deal with waterlogging every year before the rains. Despite a budget of crores of rupees and a high-tech drainage system, the condition of the underpasses even in the slightest rain is a big stain on the planning of the city. Local RWAs and citizens have demanded that automatic pumping systems and water level sensors be installed in such dangerous underpasses so that no one’s life is at risk in future. Taking cognizance of the matter, the police administration has taken out the submerged car with the help of a crane and diverted the traffic, but the question is whether the administration keeps waiting for a major accident?
