Two workers killed, three injured in Bengaluru underpass cave-in

Some workers were building an underground road tunnel in a big city called Bengaluru.

While they were working, the dirt and soil around them suddenly fell in, like sand collapsing in a sandbox.

Two workers got trapped under the soil and sadly passed away.

Three other workers who were there got hurt but were able to get to safety.

The accident happened on a Tuesday morning, just before ten forty-five.

The workers were taking out water that had collected at the site before they started building with concrete.

The place where it happened is called the BDA Kanteerava Studio underpass.

A company, PJB Engineers, was in charge of the construction work.

The Bangalore Development Authority, which looks after the city's development, wants to know exactly why the soil fell.

They have asked for an independent inquiry to find out what went wrong.

Learning why it happened can help make construction sites safer for workers in the future.
