In the Balewadi-Mhalunge area of Pune, an 11-year-old boy tragically lost his life on Monday evening after falling from his two-wheeler due to a pothole. The family was en route to the boy's tuition class when their motorcycle skidded on the damaged road. The impact caused the child to fall onto the road, and he was subsequently crushed by an approaching Eicher truck.
A CCTV camera captured the entire incident, which has since been widely shared. Passersby and other motorcyclists immediately rushed to the boy's aid, with others stopping to provide assistance. Local residents, furious over the poor state of roads and widespread potholes in the area, have long voiced their concerns. Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde addressed the matter, instructing municipal corporations to make roads pothole-free ahead of the Ganesh festival.
Shinde emphasized the importance of swift repairs using modern technologies during the monsoon season, warning against subpar work.
