Mumbai:<\/strong> A tragic construction accident in Subhash Nagar area of Chembur has resulted in the death of three workers after a makeshift wooden platform collapsed at an under-construction building. The incident has once again raised serious questions about worker safety and safety compliance at construction sites across Mumbai.<\/h2>\n\n

According to officials, the accident took place on February 28 when six labourers were working on the sixth floor of the building. The temporary wooden platform they were standing on suddenly gave way, causing all six workers to fall from a significant height.<\/p>\n\n

Emergency services rushed the injured workers to nearby hospitals. One labourer died on the spot due to severe injuries, while another succumbed during treatment at Lokmanya Tilak Municipal General Hospital. A third victim, a 22-year-old worker who had been battling critical injuries, passed away on Wednesday afternoon.<\/p>\n\n

Among the remaining injured workers, one is currently admitted to the intensive care unit in critical condition, while two others are undergoing treatment and are reported to be stable.<\/p>\n\n

Following the incident, the Mumbai Police registered a case under sections related to negligence and endangering human life. Notices have been issued to six individuals associated with the construction project, including the main contractor, site engineer, supervisor, and labour contractor. Authorities confirmed that two individuals linked to the case are currently absconding.<\/p>\n\n

Officials stated that the investigation will examine whether proper safety protocols were followed at the construction site. Preliminary reports suggest that the workers were using a temporary wooden structure instead of a properly secured platform, which may have contributed to the collapse.<\/p>\n\n

The incident has sparked renewed concerns about safety standards at construction sites in Mumbai. Labour rights activists and civic groups are now demanding stricter enforcement of safety regulations, proper protective equipment for workers, and regular inspections to prevent such tragedies in the future.<\/p>\n\n

Authorities have assured that those found responsible for negligence will face strict legal action as the investigation continues.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
