Breaking: Four Children Die After Falling Into Open Construction Pit In Heavy Rains, Probe Ordered

A tragic incident has come to light amid ongoing railway construction work, where four children lost their lives after falling into an open pit filled with rainwater. The mishap occurred when two children slipped into the pit and, in an attempt to save them, two more jumped in, but all four drowned. Locals rushed to the spot and pulled them out, but by the time they were taken to the hospital, doctors declared them dead.Residents allege gross negligence on the part of the railway authorities and contractors, as the site had no warning signs, barricading, or safety measures despite the ongoing rains. Families of the victims have demanded strict action, holding both railway officials and the contractor responsible.Police have registered a case and an inquiry has been initiated. Sources suggest that accountability may be fixed on the contractor and certain railway officials after investigations. Despite the enormity of the tragedy, railway authorities have so far remained silent officially, though informally they have indicated action against the contractor.This incident has sparked outrage, raising serious questions: why was a deep, water-filled pit left unguarded during monsoon? Why were no danger signs or barricades installed? With four innocent lives lost, the responsibility now lies with the railway to answer these questions and ensure accountability.
