Tragic Incident: Child's Death Sparks Probe into Construction Negligence

A 10-year-old boy tragically died after falling into an open, water-filled pit dug for a sewer in a municipal area of Baraut town, officials revealed on Thursday.

The incident, which happened on Wednesday evening, involved Irshad, who was playing when he accidentally fell into the deep pit. Despite frantic rescue efforts by family and locals, he could not be saved.

Criticism has been leveled against authorities for leaving the pit uncovered amid ongoing marriage hall construction, with allegations of negligence. Officials indicate an inquiry is underway, and any responsible parties will face action.
