Two young children narrowly escaped tragedy after falling into an uncovered sewage drain in , an incident residents attribute to alleged negligence by the Municipal Committee. According to local residents, the drain’s protective slabs had been missing for nearly two months, creating a dangerous situation for pedestrians. As a result, five-year-old Ibrahim and three-year-old Hamad reportedly slipped into the open drain. During the incident, three-year-old Hamad suffered injuries, while Ibrahim escaped without serious harm. The incident has sparked anger among area residents, who say repeated complaints about the missing slabs went unaddressed.
