Haveri: 10-year-old boy washed away into overflowing drains while playing on roads after heavy rains
Haveri: The tempestuous weather running in the city overnight on Wednesday resulted in the death of a 10-year-old boy, Nivedan Gudageri, who fell into a drain in Shivajinagar area of Haveri amid heavy showers and was washed away.
On account of the heavy rainfall from late Wednesday night till dawn on Thursday, the drains in the city were overflowing and the roads too were inundated.
Nivedan was reportedly playing with his friends by the 3rd Cross in Shivajinagar which leads to the Old PB Road when he slipped and felled into the roadside drain, getting washed away with the rainwater.
The teams of the local fire brigade, police and the City Municipality searched in the waters for more than two hours before finding Nivedan and ensuring he received medical treatment at the District Hospital. The boy, however, died as he was unable to respond to the treatment.
The locals initially gathered outside the District Hospital on learning of Nivedan’s death. They also staged a protest, blocking the Shivajinagar 1st Cross and alleging that the encroachment of the drains and poor maintenance by the concerned authorities had caused the 10-year-old boy’s death.
