An Afghani national, returning from a private hospital, fell into a three-foot deep broken stormwater drain in sector 52 on Wednesday. The incident, captured by the HT photographer, has highlighted the condition of stormwater drains, no to mention the potholes and open manholes in several areas of the city. Although there have been no fatalities in rain-related accidents so far this monsoon, such incidents have become a regular affair with pedestrians often falling into broken drains and injuring themselves. Broken drains can be spotted along the Mehrauli-Gurgaon road along the ‘Mall Mile”, South City 2, Kanhai village, Palam Vihar and Sushant Lok Phase-1. “We fix broken drains as soon as residents notify us about the same.
