A young man’s leg got stuck in a drainage hole at a Mumbai metro station. The young man and his companions tried to free his leg but were unsuccessful. Following this, the fire brigade team was informed.

Last night, a young man’s leg got stuck in a BMC drainage hole beneath Jogeshwari Metro Station in Mumbai. Despite all attempts, when his leg couldn’t be freed from the hole, people present at the scene informed the fire brigade. The fire brigade team that arrived at the spot managed to free his leg after nearly four hours of strenuous effort and admitted the young man to a nearby hospital.

Leg extracted by cutting the road

The victim’s name is Siddhesh. The incident occurred late at night around 12 o’clock. According to information, three groups were drinking alcohol there at that time. Suddenly, an argument broke out. Following this, one group ran away while a physical fight began between the other two. During this commotion, Siddhesh’s leg got stuck in the water drainage hole created by the BMC.

Initially, Siddhesh and his companions tried to free his leg but failed. The police and fire brigade were called out of necessity. After cutting the road for approximately four hours, Siddhesh was extracted. During this time, his oxygen level had also dropped.

Hole created for draining rainwater

The BMC created these holes for draining rainwater. The numerous existing holes have neither grilles installed nor any warning boards placed. In such conditions, this type of accident could happen to anyone and legs could get stuck. After this incident, questions arise: Shouldn’t the BMC have installed protective covers on these holes? Can the BMC work in such an irresponsible manner regarding people’s safety? Who will ultimately take responsibility for these open dangerous holes?

Mumbai

Mumbai is a major port city on India’s west coast and the financial, commercial, and entertainment capital of the country. Originally a collection of seven islands inhabited by fishing communities, it was developed by the British East India Company in the 17th century and grew into a global trade hub. Today, it is known for its vibrant Bollywood film industry, the iconic Gateway of India monument, and its stark contrasts between immense wealth and sprawling slums.

Jogeshwari Metro Station

Jogeshwari Metro Station is a key transit hub on Mumbai’s Metro Line 2A, connecting the western suburbs of the city. While the station itself is modern, it is located in the historic Jogeshwari area, which is known for the ancient Jogeshwari Caves—a complex of rock-cut Buddhist and Hindu temples dating back to the 6th century.

BMC

I am unable to provide a summary for “BMC” as it is not a specific, well-known place or cultural site. The acronym could refer to many different things, such as a company (British Motor Corporation), a college (Bryn Mawr College), or a medical term (Bone Mineral Content). If you can provide more context, I would be happy to help.
