Senior citizen dies due to dangerous road conditions in Nagpur
A 66-year-old man, Shivdas Diyewar, died after falling from his moped on a hazardous road in Nagpur. The accident occurred on a poorly maintained stretch near Gudadhe Layout, where road widening work has left the area dangerous for commuters. Residents blame the ongoing construction by the Nagpur Improvement Trust for the unsafe conditions. They report frequent accidents due to uneven surfaces and obstacles like open chambers and electric cables. Locals describe the area as a "death-trap." The contractor acknowledged challenges in the project, citing issues with utilities and the need for bridge widening. He expressed frustration over the inability to close the road for safety during construction. Local authorities have not yet commented on the incident.
