Past Mishap At Construction Site Claims Life
A 28-year-old labourer died after a brick fell on his head from the 15th floor of a 23-storey under-construction building by Arihant Builders in Mankhurd early on Monday. The victim, Kamal Shaikh, from Murshidabad in West Bengal had been working with his other brothers at the site, managed by Modern Infrastructure, for the past three months.
The slab work for the project is complete up to the 18th floor, with wall-related work currently underway on the 15th and 16th floors. For this, cement bricks had been placed on the slab and a safety net on the third and the 17th floors. The deceased’s brother, Zamzam Shaikh, said that the width of these nets is small and the mesh is torn at places. Zamzam said they had reminded the managing company about it but nothing was done.
