Tragedy in Gurugram: Sewer's Deadly Toll

The Samajwadi Party has accused the BJP-led government in Haryana of culpability in the death of Shailendra, a resident of Uttar Pradesh, who tragically drowned in an open sewer during torrential rains in Gurugram.

Highlighting negligence and corruption, the party demanded a compensation of Rs 1 crore for his kin, arguing similar incidents plague other BJP-ruled states. It criticized the state's inadequate infrastructure and safety measures.

The 27-year-old Shailendra was conducting work-related tasks when he fell into the manhole, submerged due to waterlogging. His wife made frantic calls, and his body was found the next day, sparking a political outcry.
