Lidless manhole claims life
A lidless manhole cost a young man his life at Motijheel in the capital yesterday.
Identity of the victim aged around 25 could not be known.
The ill-fated pedestrian fell into a manhole on the road in front of Madhumita movie house around 6:00pm. Other people who saw the tragic incident tried to rescue him but failed.
Later, on information from them, fire service divers reached the spot and recovered the victim's body after a more than 20-minute search.
Police said the body was sent to Dhaka Medical College Hospital morgue for autopsy.
Locals said the manhole is lidless for about 25 days, and they complained about it repeatedly only in vain.
