01:15visual that we have of him desperately hoping that somebody will just go

01:29well everybody arrived nobody could help at all now that tragic ordeal shook the
01:35conscience of the nation sparked calls for justice and debate as well heads began
01:41rolling hours after you Raj was effectively what we called here on the
01:45program murdered by the system the CEO of Noida authority was removed the junior
01:51engineer was sacked the builder was arrested and SIT was formed it was long
01:56overdue action against criminality or also criminally negligent system was to be
02:01done but is this enough clearly not the SIT now has to submit its report in five
02:08days today is day four tomorrow that report will be submitted to the government
02:13and then we'll see how exactly are they looking at this particular incident which is failure at
02:21different steps right from how the road was turned to how the response that came in as well but here at
02:30India today we have accessed exclusive inside details of that investigation how exactly is the
02:36UPS IT thinking on this matter so on sources are telling us at this point that five
02:42departments of Noida authority are under the scanner the SIT is questioning officials
02:48from SDRF from fire department from police personnel who were all present at the
02:57scene India today has also accessed that SIT is line of questioning sources say
03:03authorities will be asked to explain the level of coordination between different agencies and
03:08officials at the site of the tragedy further we are told the probe team will also question or
03:15perhaps has already about the response time what rescue measures were taken and what precautions
03:21were taken at the site following a similar incident involving a truck just 15 days ago
03:28so all those are the details that we are gathering at the moment arvind oja my colleague has got us all
03:36those details has been tracking all the aspects of that story especially when it comes to how noida
03:42police is thinking how SIT is going about their investigation arvind hame thoda bataye ki iske
03:49noida authority us me fire department ki team us me police us me SDRF ki team us
03:56in the ndrf ki in in sabhi logo okay top aparikari has unkate statement including
04:00ah joga noida police commissioner in the section of the government
04:01in that section of the council called a prime minister
04:02in the section of the government of the local government and the police
04:19All these people who are the top workers, including NOIDA, the police commissioner,
04:26a few days ago, the DM, which is under disaster management, was coming in front of the NOIDA
04:34authority of SIT, and a few days later, they went back.
04:39The NOIDA authority...
04:40Were they summoned?
04:41No, they were called for asking.
04:44SIT's team calls everyone to ask.
04:47They are telling you, are you all self-procure, are you self-procure, you are self-procure,
04:51all these matters are coming.
04:54The police is a absconding builder.
04:57The NBW has issued it from the port in NIRBAL.
05:00It is absconding.
05:02If we're talking about SIT, the investigation of SIT, its entire report will be kept in front of the Uttar Pradesh,
05:10Yogi Adit TINAD.
05:13But in the people's lives, there is no matter what you think about it,
05:18if there is no good work in any district or in any district,
05:22then the captain or commander,
05:26maybe the police,
05:28Lakshmi Singh will take good work.
05:31So the bad work,
05:33does the top commander take the bad work?
05:35Like Lakshmi Singh,
05:38does it take the bad work?
05:43This is the biggest problem.
05:45Or the small officers,
05:47they will end up with action.
05:50So the main focus is, especially on the Uvaraj's father,
05:54and the rest of the people who are watching this case,
05:57who want to be the judge of the Uvaraj,
06:00they will do this.
06:01Otherwise, the SIT report will not be less.
06:04We will see that the team of the SIT team is going to the spot,
06:08in all areas.
06:09And the most important thing is,
06:11that the responsibility of disaster management
06:14is due to the DM.
06:16So is there any action on the map?
06:19This is a big question.
06:20SIT has asked for the DM,
06:23and the CP has asked for the report,
06:26and the report will be submitted to the UPCM.
06:29Arvind,
06:30the most important thing is,
06:31who is being overlooked by the SIT?
06:34Because they are the department
06:37who are investigating the other department.
06:39At the end of the day,
06:40if they get out of trouble,
06:42they get out of trouble,
06:43and they get out of trouble,
06:44and they get out of trouble,
06:45and they get out of trouble.
06:46So who is part of the SIT?
06:48Is it possible to be part of the SIT?
06:51Is it possible to be part of the SIT?
06:52No, absolutely.
06:53Look,
06:54the whole incident happened,
06:57and India Today has raised this story
07:00and we have had a break on Noda 40,
07:03Noda 40,
07:04so there was an action on the UPCM.
07:06The UPCM has removed Noda's CEO
07:09which was a big action,
07:10that it has no hope for anyone.
07:12Now, the question is,
07:14the DM is,
07:15the DM,
07:16which will be the action on them,
07:18or will it not?
07:19Will it not?
07:20Will it not?
07:21Will it be the police commissioner
07:22or will it not?
07:23Will it not?
07:24The SIT is leading the ADG,
07:26who is the ADG,
07:28who is the ADG,
07:29is the head of it.
07:30No,
07:32so there are many footprints.
07:35They are too 100 people,
07:37so Inim lately
07:38Ms. Tam.
07:39So there are incredible
07:40dud ╤А╨░╤Б╤Бmaя┐╜
07:41in Noda 40,
07:43how many of the authorities
07:45are Namen really
07:47who are required to.
07:48That there you get
07:48want to go to that
07:49all the days of thealdes.
07:50We have developed
07:51that no data quote
07:53problem.
07:53That all messages
07:56how that's come,
07:58and when you have to
07:58see bees,
07:59yes,
08:00I don't know if there is no water, there is no water, there is no water, there is no water for 5 years, if the water didn't come out, that's the authority, whose budget is more than 14,000 crores.
08:13The disaster management of disaster is due to DM.
08:18If there was a accident in the Ugaraj, there was an accident, then the DM had to happen at the moment.
08:26So this investigation is done by the SIT team and the statement is done and the report will be sent to the CM.
08:34Let's hope that there will be a non-biased, unbiased report and some conclusions will be released.
08:43Thank you, Arvind.
08:46Piyush Mishra is also with us. My colleague Piyush is joined by locals in the area as well.
08:51Piyush, the question is very simple. The question is not about just this incident which hopefully will be addressed by the SIT,
08:58but how to avoid further instances like these.
09:01We've done our own reality check to understand that death traps like these are at every nook and corner in Noida.
09:07You travel anywhere even five minutes away from where the film city is, you'll find such corners, right?
09:13So what are they doing at a systemic level to fix this issue and what is the demand of the locals there?
09:20Well, that's right, Sonal, and that's the point which the locals are also raising.
09:27They are very anguished and we were also hearing to our colleague Arvind Hoja who was pointing that this pit had rainwater,
09:34but it's not rainwater. The locals here, those are with us, they are telling us that it's a sewage water.
09:39It's a sewage water and this is more shocking that untreated sewage water is being, you know, discharged here in this pit.
09:48And I would directly like to take a comment from the locals here and they are very angry.
09:52They are very anguished with the fact that despite authorities knowing that, you know, this entire area is not covered.
09:58They did not take any action, ma'am. You were telling us that this entire pit is sewage water.
10:03It's more shocking and you were also telling me that you have been reaching out to various authorities.
10:08What has been their response?
10:10Their response is nothing. They have a usual answer.
10:13Yeah, we will look into it. Yes, we are watching it. We are seeing it.
10:17They are just waiting and watching for such incident to happen, you know.
10:22You know, there is no value for a human life, you know, in front of them.
10:27And that is the reason, you know, this thing had happened.
10:29I have shown you, you know, the letters, the correspondence, the requests that we have raised,
10:34the social media channels that we used, you know, different handles, you know, to convey our messages
10:39that there should be a proper lighting out here, there should be blinkers out here, you know,
10:43especially if you come during the month of December and January, you know, when there is no visibility,
10:48zero visibility, you know. You can just imagine, you know, if you are standing in front of me,
10:53I won't be able to see you that, okay, someone is standing in front of me.
10:56Imagine what would have happened, you know, to that poor guy, you know, that night.
11:00It is really, really shameful, I would say.
11:03They are saying NOIDA sector 150 is the posh sector. I don't know what is the definition of posh here, you know.
11:09We have spent lot of money out here in buying our property or buying our flats.
11:15The authority is fooling us, the developers are fooling us.
11:18They are big time chores, I would say. That is the right word to use for them.
11:22That shows the kind of anger is there among the residents.
11:25You also live in sector 150. You have also been reaching out to authorities.
11:30Do you think that Yuvraj could have been saved?
11:33Yes, he could have been saved. Why not? See, you could have seen that he had fallen to the ditch.
11:41And he was so courageous. He came out of the car and he was at the rooftop.
11:45He did his best. He used his mind. He used his education. He used everything.
11:51And he was on top of the car. And with his mobile, he was guiding people, asking people, begging them to help me.
11:58To help me, help me and save me. But nothing could be done because of this, our government, present government running in the now.
12:06And because of this noid authority, disaster management people who could not do anything.
12:14They could have done anything. They could have used their common brain.
12:17If they had no boat, they could have made human chain. They could have used ropes. But they could have saved the life.
12:23But what is this? You are getting your money. You are getting job. You are getting tankha. You are getting paid.
12:30So you don't want to save a poor man's child. If it would have been a minister's child, it would have been a politician's child.
12:37Then you would have seen even helicopter would have come within no time. Because this is a poor man's child. Common man's child who is a taxpayer, who is paying all the dues on time, who has been squeezed morally, socially, economically.
12:55Then he had to die. So you are getting emotional. He had to die. He was made to sacrifice. He has sacrificed his life for us.
13:10The reality really cutting across over there, Piyush. Thanks so much for bringing us that entire reality over there.
13:19And I think what that lady said actually echoes everybody's sentiment over there.
