Two Laborers Killed in Byculla Construction Site Soil Collapse
Imagine a building being built.
Workers were digging the ground to make a strong base.
Suddenly, the dirt around them fell in.
Two workers tragically lost their lives in this accident.
Three other workers were hurt but are now okay.
The city officials said the construction company didn't use enough safety tools for digging.
Because of this, they told the company to stop working and are investigating what happened.
Two laborers died and three were injured when soil collapsed at a Byculla construction site on Saturday afternoon.
The incident occurred during foundation and piling work at Habib Mansion.
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) issued a stop work notice to the developer for conducting excavation without safety measures.
The deceased have been identified as Rahul (30) and Raju (28), while the injured are Sajjad Ali (25), Sobat Ali (28), and Lal Mohammad (18).
An inquiry is underway by BMC officials and the police to determine the exact cause of the collapse.
