A tragic incident has occurred in Priyanka Camp, Ali Vihar, in the Sarita Vihar area of Delhi. 18-year-old Ankit fell into a drain and went missing. It is reported that Ankit was returning home from work when he fell into the fast-flowing water while crossing a culvert near the drain.
A Major Challenge for Divers
According to locals, the water level in the drain had risen significantly after continuous rain. The flow was so strong that finding the young man after the accident became a major challenge for rescue teams and divers.
Ankit’s Body Recovered
Nearly 22 hours have passed since the accident, but Ankit’s body has not yet been recovered. Divers and rescue teams are continuously searching the drain and making every possible effort to find the young man.
Search Begins by Calling Divers
According to Ankit’s father, the family also made extensive efforts to search for their son on their own after the accident. His backpack was found near the scene, but no trace of Ankit was found. Rescue teams and divers were called in to resume the search.
Rescue teams are continuing their operations.
The biggest challenge is the strong current of the drain. Due to the strong water, divers are facing considerable difficulty in entering the drain and continuing to search. Despite this, the rescue team continues to operate.
Drain water level rises during rains
Locals frequently travel near the culvert where the accident occurred. Locals say that the drain’s water level rises during rains, making this route extremely dangerous.
The question now is not just about finding Ankit, but also about safety measures at such locations. Why are there no safety measures around such culverts? Were any arrangements made to alert people of the danger? And has the administration provided an alternative route or security system in view of the rising water levels during rains?
The family is keeping their eyes on the rescue team.
At present, the family is keeping their eyes on the rescue team. More than 22 hours have passed, but Ankit has still not been found. Divers are constantly trying to find the young man and reunite him with his family as soon as possible.
