No Streetlights, UP Biker Falls Into Pit, Dies After Shivering For 12 Hours

In a tragic incident highlighting the lack of safety measures on Indian roads, a 25-year-old techie in Noida succumbed to injuries after falling into a water-filled pit. The accident occurred in the absence of streetlights, leaving the biker vulnerable to such hazards. Just weeks later, another young life was lost near Kanpur when a labourer fell into a deep, mud-filled hole, which acted like quicksand. These incidents underscore the urgent need for improved infrastructure and better maintenance of road safety features across Uttar Pradesh. Local authorities have faced criticism for their negligence in addressing these dangerous conditions, prompting calls for immediate action to prevent further tragedies. As residents express their fears about navigating poorly lit roads and hidden hazards, the government is urged to enhance safety measures to protect the lives of its citizens.
