Bridge Collapse in Jabalpur Kills One, Injures Two
A bridge that was being built in Jabalpur, India, had a part of it fall down from a very high place.
This happened late at night on Sunday.
Three workers were hurt, and one of them, named Mursaleem, died right away.
The other two, Russel and Rajeshwar, were taken to the hospital.
People who live nearby said that the workers might not have had the right safety things to keep them safe.
The people in charge of building the bridge, called NHAI, are going to find out why this happened and who is responsible.
The bridge is being built over a big river called the Narmada.
A bridge frame collapsed from 100 feet during construction in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh.
One worker died, and two others were critically injured and hospitalized.
The incident occurred at the largest ring road project in Jabalpur near Lalpur village.
NHAI is investigating the cause, suspected to be a loosened or failed nut or bolt.
Villagers alleged lack of proper safety arrangements and employment of minor workers.
