HIBAPRESS – Taza
The Al-Wifaq neighborhood (Jinan Al-Bardai) in the city of Taza witnessed an accident on Sunday evening, which resulted in a citizen falling into a manhole designated for water drainage, leading to an injury to his left leg, according to locally circulating information.
According to the same information, the manhole was not adequately secured, as it is likely that its iron cover was unstable or had collapsed, without any warning signs to alert passersby, which may explain the occurrence of the accident while the victim was walking. The injured citizen, according to identical sources, refused to use the ambulance, preferring to receive treatment by his own means. This accident has brought back to the forefront the discussion about the status of the infrastructure in the city, especially concerning the maintenance and securing of water drainage facilities, where a number of followers believe that such incidents raise questions about safety procedures in public spaces, especially in areas close to residential neighborhoods and educational institutions. Local actors demand the necessity of intensifying monitoring and periodic maintenance operations, and taking preventive measures to reduce potential risks, to ensure the safety of citizens while they move within the urban area.
