Amid mounting pressure over the fatal accident claiming software engineer Yuvraj’s life in Noida, the Special Investigation Team held a pivotal overnight conclave at the Authority office. ADG Bhanu Bhaskar, as SIT head, convened with heavyweights like Commissioner Bhanu Chandra Goswami and Engineer Ajay Verma.
Spotlight fell on Police Commissioner Laxmi Singh, District Magistrate Medha Rupam, and Noida ACEOs Krishna Karunesh and Satish Pal, who must deliver thorough briefings. Laxity won’t fly, the SIT emphasized, ordering Friday deadlines for comprehensive replies.
The team plans a follow-up inspection Friday to pore over the voluminous submissions—over 60 pages tackling seven key concerns—plus district disaster reports.
Queries probe coordination efficacy, alert-to-action delays, lifesaving measures, relief shortcomings, plot allotment timelines for Sports City, basic amenities provisioning, and responses to a preceding truck mishap.
With the report queued for state submission on January 24, culprits face stern consequences. Administrative unease prevails as provincial leaders keep a vigilant watch.
