New Delhi, May 29 (IANS) A 42-year-old man died after his car fell from an under-constructed flyover in Delhi's Barapulla Extension area, a police official said on Monday.
The incident took place May 26 and the deceased was identified as Jagandeep, a resident of Krishna Nagar area.
According to the police, information was received that a car had fallen from the flyover.
"On the spot, one WagonR car was found in an accidental condition and a man was lying unconscious on the driver's seat. The man was taken out from the car and then rushed to the LBS Hospital where he was declared dead on arrival," said the senior police official.
"The family members of Jagandeep disclosed that he was an employee at a private company in Noida for the last 15 years. On Friday May 26, he went to his office at 10 a.m."
A case under section 279 (rash driving or riding on a public way) and 304A (causing death by negligence) of the Indian Penal Code was registered at the Mayur Vihar-1 police station, the official added.
According to officials, several people of Khakrai village had allegedly consumed alcohol on Saturday, after which three persons died on Saturday and Sunday. As the incident came to light, State Excise Minister Jagdish Devda assured strict action.
The required measures, including development of infrastructure like construction of roads, tunnels and strategic railway lines, are taken to safeguard the sovereignty, territorial integrity and security of India, the minister said.
He paid homage to the indomitable courage and sacrifice of the Indian Armed Forces personnel during the Kargil conflict in 1999 by laying a wreath at the Dagger War Memorial in Baramulla during a solemn ceremony.
In a report submitted to the Union Jal Shakti Ministry, the Delhi Government has stated that the minimum environmental flow for dilution of the polluted water in the Yamuna in Delhi will be required to meet the desired water quality levels in the river for bathing.
The farmers have rejected the meagre compensation awarded by the district revenue officers (DROs), who have been designated as competent authority for land acquisitions.
