She blamed the tragedy on the lack of safety measures, as the man’s death could have been prevented if the drainage was covered.
“We were all crying for help but no one came. He went to buy some food for his aged mother before he died while trying to cross over.
“If the drainage had been well done, the man would not have died. We have been abandoned with no good roads. We make payments but we do not get power supply”, Isoken said.
