New Delhi. Technology has now become an important part of our lifestyle. We use technology for every big thing. In such a situation, we need to understand that technology is just a tool to make our life easier. We cannot fully depend on it. A painful incident recently makes us realize that while using technology, we should also use our conscience and do not believe in technology by closing our eyes. In this recent incident, the navigation tool took a person to death during driving.
In Greater Noida, a person dropped his car in a 30-foot deep drain after receiving wrong guidelines from his phone. According to the police, there is no evidence of any conspiracy at the moment, the police believe that the driver's navigation system took him in the wrong direction and that is why this incident happened. Despite being taken to the hospital, the victim later succumbed due to his injuries. Officers had to use the crane to remove the car from the drain.
Bharat wandered the way
According to PTI report, the deceased has been identified as Bharat Bharti, a resident of Mandavali, Delhi. He was going to attend a wedding in Sector P4 of Greater Noida on 1 March, when this tragic incident took place. According to reports, Bharat's brother Dilip Bharti said that Bharat had lost the road and he had called him for guidelines. After putting the destination into the navigation system, Bharat followed the guidelines. Unfortunately, the navigation system did not tell them that the road was ending, causing the car to fall into the drain.
Such incidents happened earlier
According to media reports, a delivery agent was present on the spot and he informed the authorities. The agent said that the road looks straight on the online maps, but in fact the vehicles go into the opposite lane. For this reason, many accidents happen daily. Even before this, a motorcycle rider has fallen into the drain. Dilip Bharti said that the family is planning to take legal action against the officials. He says that this accident occurred due to lack of signal boards and proper warnings.
