Greater Noida: A station master lost his life after his automobile collided with a 30-foot-deep sewer as he was following directions from Google Maps. Google Maps and the authorities’ alleged incompetence have been blamed for the disaster, which happened in Greater Noida, close to the P-4 Sector.

Police reportedly retrieved the station master from the sewer when they got to the scene. He was immediately rushed to the hospital, but he died as a result of his injuries. Later, the automobile was pulled out of the sewer by authorities using a crane.

The deceased, Bharat Bhati, lived in Mandawali, Delhi, and was assigned to Manesar. Bharat phoned to say he was going to a wedding in Girdharpur, Greater Noida, but he was having trouble locating the instructions, according to his brother, Dilip Bhati.

He said that when he was standing nearby around 2:30 pm, a car sped past and collided directly with the drain. Saurav surmised that the motorist could have been using Google Maps.

The incident has been attributed on the government by Bharat Bhati’s brother, Dilip Bhati. “We are currently having problems, but we will demand action against the authority later,” he said. because this location lacks a signboard. Furthermore, there has been no barricading.
