Out for morning walk, two friends die in hit & run in Ghazaiabad
Ghaziabad: Two neighbours who'd been friends for a decade were run over at the Rotary roundabout in Raj Nagar Extension while they were on an early morning walk, a ritual they had followed for years, on Friday. According to police, Subhash Singh (57) and Kamlesh Yadav (45), residents of Brij Nagri in Nandgram, left for the walk around 5am. They were on their way back around 5.30am when a four-wheeler rammed into them from the back. Its driver sped away. Kamlesh's son Atul told TOI some neighbours informed the family about the accident. "We reached the spot and took them to a nearby hospital. Both of them succumbed to their injuries within an hour," Atul said. Atul, a BJP functionary, said his father was the RWA president of the colony and Subhash was an e-rickshaw driver. "They had been friends for 10 years and were living in the area for the past five years. When Covid-19 happened, they decided to go for morning walks to become fit. They'd leave at 5am and return by 6am," Atul said. Nandgram ACP Poonam Mishra said a police team was rushed to the spot of the accident on Friday morning and was trying to gather information about the vehicle that hit the two men. "We have registered an FIR against an unknown driver under sections 106 (causing death by negligence) and 281 (rash driving or riding on a public place) of BNS at the Nandgram police station," the ACP said. Atul said there were few eyewitnesses near the roundabout at the time of the crash. The ACP said two teams have been formed to investigate the case. "Police are also checking CCTV footage of nearby areas to identify the vehicle," she said. 18 injured in DME accident Eighteen people on a Tempo Traveller were injured after its driver fell asleep at the wheel and collided with another vehicle on the Delhi-Meerut Expressway near Modinagar in the city on Friday. The accident was reported around 3am, when the mini-bus was ferrying pilgrims from Rajasthan's Dausa to Badrinath temple in Uttarakhand. Police said Gopal Sharma of Jaipur was driving the mini-bus and fell asleep. "This caused the mini-bus to lose control and collide with an unknown vehicle. The impact was so severe that the driver's side was badly damaged. Passengers managed to escape and those injured were admitted to a hospital in Meerut," a police officer said. Sharma was among the 18 injured. Cops said a case was being registered and they are on the lookout for the driver of the other vehicle too.

Karnataka rains: Hubballi homes flooded after heavy downpour, residents blame clogged drains
Heavy rainfall lashed Karnataka's Hubballi on Monday night, leaving several parts of the city inundated and exposing long-standing issues with the city's drainage infrastructure. Low-lying areas bore the brunt, as rainwater gushed into homes, especially in Ganesh Nagar and Old Hubballi, forcing residents to deal with knee-deep water and waterlogged living spaces. Also Read - Bengaluru rains flood BMTC bus near Manyata Tech Park, passengers soaked amid heavy downpour. Video In Ganesh Nagar, more than 30 homes were flooded after rainwater overflowed from clogged drains, soaking belongings and leaving residents frustrated. Locals said this has become a recurring nightmare after every spell of heavy rain. Speaking to ANI, a resident named Prakash said, "The gutters here are choked with 4 to 5 feet of plastic waste and mud. Nothing is cleaned. The authorities claim the drainage system is sufficient, but year after year, our homes are flooded because the water simply has nowhere to go." Further adding to the chaos, a Tempo Traveller carrying 13 passengers, along with two cars, got stuck in a submerged stretch of service road near the Rayanal underpass along the under-construction Hubballi-Dharwad bypass. Thankfully, all occupants were rescued safely and no injuries were reported.

The open stormwater drains have not been desilted or maintained, leading to backflow and stagnation during intense downpours. "Despite repeated appeals to the area MLA, nothing is done. Every household in Ganesh Nagar suffered last night," Prakash added. Meanwhile, Bengaluru also saw heavy rains on Tuesday evening, which resulted in civic mess across the city. Key areas like Manyata Tech park got heavily flooded and commuters faced inconvenience due to waterlogging.
