10 THE TIMES OF INDIA Noida Nobody owns pit where 2 kids drowned last week Sharmila Bhowmick,TNN Sep 11, 2014, AM IST NOIDA: Nine days after two kids drowned in a huge water-filled pit, spread over an acre in Sector 94 adjacent to upcoming projects by BPTP, Supertech and others, environmentalists have written to National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), the police headquarters of Gautam Budh Nagar and Noida Authority to demand that the pit be filled up. In his letter to NHRC, Vikrant Tongad of NGO Social Action for Forests and Environment has reported the death of the two kids in the pit and asked NHRC to urgently attend to the unguarded water-filled pit at the construction site, saying it is a threat to life. "The pit, dug up by builders, is illegal, firstly because it was created to dewater construction sites, which NGT does not allow, and second, because it is unprotected, and as with the two kids who drowned, and can lead to more accidents," Tongad said. But what is mystifying is how the pit came into being if it wasn't dug up for cosntruction. "It's not ours. We have nothing to do with it," a senior BPTP official said. A spokesperson for the Supertech group, whose Supernova complex is coming up in the vicinity, said, "Our building is not close to the pit, we've nothing to do with it, neither do we know when or why it was dug." Tongad said, "Through our letter, we want to find out who owns the land where the pit is. If it doesn't fall within any builder's plot, the onus should be on the Noida Authority to either make the pit safe or fill it up. Someone has to take responsibility for such a huge pond-sized pit and see to it that more accidents don't happen in the future."
