Father of 27-year-old techie Yuvraj Mehta, who died in a waterlogged pit in Noida on Sunday, urged the authorities to ensure that such administrative lapses never repeat and strict action should be taken against those responsible for the negligence in this entire incident.

The deceased's father, Rajkumar Mehta, said, "You raised your voice and supported my family and me in the tragic and untimely death of my son, Yuvraj, due to administrative negligence. You strengthened my resolve and guided this matter in the right direction, so that the negligent departments and their irresponsible staff could be appropriately punished. I was completely broken and devastated by my son's death. But all of you gave me complete support and effectively conveyed the negligence and disregard for my son's life to the people and the government of the country.
