In a first-of-its-kind response, the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation has decided to pay Rs 5 lakh as compensation to the family of an accident victim who lost her life due to an ill-designed speed breaker.
The decision was taken at an emergency meeting called on Monday following the death of Anjana Sawant (43) on Sunday — she had sustained serious injuries in an accident that took place due to a poorly constructed speedbreaker in Chinchwad last month. Unmarked, jumbo-sized speed breakers dot Pimpri-Chinchwad and have claimed six lives so far.
