Tragic Accident in Yerwada: Delivery Boy Hit by Bus in No-Entry Zone; Angry Locals Confront Drunk Driver
Pune: A tragic incident occurred in the Yerwada area of Pune around 8 AM. A bus coming from Kharadi entered a no-entry zone and hit a delivery boy on the road. The young man suffered serious injuries and required immediate medical assistance.
The driver, who was under the influence, created chaos after the accident. Local residents caught the driver and quickly realized he was drunk. His reckless actions put the young man’s life in danger. Enraged, the citizens physically assaulted the driver before handing him over to the police.
What’s particularly alarming about this incident is that after the accident, bystanders rushed the injured young man to Indira Gandhi Hospital, but sadly, the hospital staff refused to admit him. This lack of compassion sparked outrage within the community.
*The failure of the ambulance and police to respond*
Following the accident, the citizens made attempts to summon an ambulance, but it was unable to reach the scene in time. Furthermore, there was no help from the nearby Parnakuti police station. This situation heightened fears that the injured young man’s condition could deteriorate.
Citizen’s admirable efforts
Because of the administration’s lack of sensitivity, the citizens stepped up and took the injured young man to a private hospital in an auto-rickshaw. It was their actions that allowed the young man to receive medical care. The citizen’s calmness and quick response have been praiseworthy.
Accountability expected from the administration
The incident has raised serious questions about the efficiency of the administration and emergency services. The hospital’s refusal to help, the delayed ambulance response, and the police’s inaction have frustrated the public. It’s essential for the administration to make immediate changes to avoid such situations in the future.
Following this incident, the community has urged for stringent measures against intoxicated drivers. These situations endanger the lives of innocent people. Residents are insisting that harsh penalties should be enforced for those who drive under the influence of alcohol.
