The family of a 1.5-year-old boy supported by locals, has demanded action against Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) officials for negligence. Their demand stems from the fact that their boy has gone missing after falling into an open drain in Goregaon. Locals say the drain was left open. This has cost the boy his life.

A report in this paper said that the family realised that their little boy was missing at night. They learnt through CCTV footage that he had wandered away and fell into an open drain. The hours-long search operation by authorities has proved fruitless. There are credible fears that he may have been swept away due to the currents in the drain.
