Meerut, Jan. 25 -- Alleged negligence by the Meerut Cantonment Board led to the death of a 42-year-old e-rickshaw driver, Sunny, who fell into an open drain on Friday evening near Kath Ka Pul on Abu Lane.

Disturbingly, the rescue response mirrored the Noida tragedy. Sunny remained trapped under the e-rickshaw in the drain for nearly 30 minutes. During this period, onlookers gathered at the site but made no serious attempt to rescue him. The police reportedly reached the spot about half an hour after being informed. HTC...
