NAGPUR: The functioning of Maharashtra Rail Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (MRIDC), South East Central Railway (SECR) and State Public Works Department (PWD) have come under the scanner after a 12-year-old boy fell into an open pit and died in east Nagpur on Thursday. All the three entities are shirking responsibility over the tragic incident.
A senior official from Kalamna police station said though it has registered the drowning of Pruthvi Dhaniram Markhande (12) at a pit near Vairagad Wadi, Durga Mata Chowk near Sai Mandir, dug up for the Itwari-Nagbhid gauge conversion project, as an accidental death, the agency entrusted with carrying out the project violated safety norms.
