One Killed as Roof Collapses at Ghaziabad Hardware Shop
A big roof fell down at a hardware shop in the city of Ghaziabad.
The shop, called Paras Steel, is three storeys tall.
Workers were doing jobs in the back part when the roof suddenly collapsed.
The roof and heavy items stored above trapped three workers underneath.
Firefighters and police rushed to the shop to save them.
They brought fire engines, a rescue van, and a digger to clear the rubble.
A special team with a dog also searched the shop.
Two workers were rescued with minor injuries.
The third worker took nearly two hours to free and was taken to a hospital in Delhi.
Sadly, he did not survive.
The roof of Paras Steel, a three-storey hardware and sanitary shop in Loni Border, Ghaziabad, collapsed on Monday evening.
One worker was killed and two others were injured in the collapse, which trapped three people under debris.
Three workers were carrying out labour work in the rear of the shop when the roof suddenly came down.
Rescue teams from fire stations, police, a JCB, and an NDRF unit took part in the operation that lasted around two hours.
The last trapped worker was taken to GTB Hospital in Delhi, where he later succumbed to his injuries.
