New Delhi, May 09: Two persons had a narrow escape when a goods carrier they were travelling in fell into a 30-foot pit allegedly dug up by the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) in northeast Delhi today.
According to police, at around 3 am, the truck laden with milk and milk products, fell into a manhole stated to be dug-up by the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) in the Shahdara area.
“The truck was on its way from Hapur to a dairy in Delhi’s Durgapuri area when it fell into the ditch near the Loni roundabout,” a senior police official said.
It took two fire tenders and a crane for more than two hours to pull out the driver and helper from the debris.
The official said the duo had received minor injuries and were rushed to the Guru Teg Bahadur hospital. They were discharged later.
