A Letter From 2023 Could Have Saved Noida Techie. It Was Lost In Files

Three years before software engineer Yuvraj Mehta drowned in a water-filled pit in Noida's Sector 150, the Uttar Pradesh Irrigation Department wrote to the Noida Authority and flagged the need for a project to prevent the accumulation of water in the pit.

This letter, however, was lost in the files. The project was never taken up. Water kept accumulating in the pit till disaster struck on Friday night, when the pit swallowed the 27-year-old's life. The tale of the missing letter has, yet again, put the spotlight on administrative negligence and its disastrous impact on citizens' lives.

Software engineer Yuvraj Mehta was returning to his home in Sector 150 from his Gurugram workplace around midnight on Friday when his car overshot the road and landed in the ditch. About 90 minutes later, despite rescue efforts by cops and firefighters, Yuvraj drowned in the ditch. His body was found early the next morning. The car is yet to be recovered.
