Earlier on Wednesday, 18-month-old Divyansh fell into an open gutter in Goregaon.
A pit was dug for the construction of the Coastal Road, near Worli, and a 12-year-old boy died after falling into that water-filled pit.
This is nothing but sheer negligence on the part of the municipality. The Maharashtra government should ensure that no manholes or pits are left opened, especially during the monsoons.
