Video: E-rickshaw topples due to pothole in UP. No onlooker stops to help

Torrential rain and waterlogging have heightened the menace of potholes in Uttar Pradesh, which have raised safety concerns yet again. The e-rickshaw was seen traversing through a run-down road – reportedly in Uttar Pradesh's Sitapur district – filled with massive potholes when it lost balance and overturned. Watch: The accident comes days after Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath directed officials to run a massive campaign for “pothole-free roads” in the state by November 15. "Whether a person lives in a village or in a metro city, good roads and better connectivity are everyone's rights," he said, pressing for the participation of private players in building roads. He also asked the Uttar Pradesh State Highway Authority to prepare an action plan to work on a public-private partnership model.
