Software engineer drowns in Greater Noida as rescue delayed due to fog
A 27-year-old software engineer, Yuvraj Mehta, drowned in Greater Noida after his car fell into a 20-foot deep pit filled with water. He was heard calling for help for two hours from the roof of his sinking car, but rescue operations were postponed by authorities citing dense fog, cold weather, and submerged iron rods. His father witnessed the ordeal helplessly. The incident has raised serious questions about the administration's negligence, lack of preparedness, and delayed response, despite prior complaints about the hazardous condition of the area. A delivery agent attempted a rescue in the same conditions, highlighting the inaction of official teams. Yuvraj's body was recovered four hours after the incident. An inquiry is underway, and a junior engineer has been suspended.
