Mumbai: A 19-year-old construction worker lost his life in a tragic accident early Tuesday morning during the construction of the Sewri–Worli Connector in Parel. The deceased, identified as Ravi Anil Giri, was a native of Nepal.
Incident occurred around 12:15 am near KEM Circle
According to the police, the incident occurred around 12:15 am near KEM Circle while workers were transporting heavy steel frames as part of an ongoing infrastructure project undertaken by Jaykumar Construction Company. Giri, along with other laborers, had been assigned to move four steel frames from Acharya Donde Marg to Parel TT late at night.
During the operation, a crane was used to lift two heavy metal frames. Giri and another worker accompanied the lifted frames and were returning to collect the remaining two when the accident occurred.
Crane operator error caused iron frame to swing
