Nagpur – A major accident was narrowly averted on Saturday at the under-construction ‘B Park’ project of the Nagpur Municipal Corporation, located at Budhwar Bazaar on Kelibagh Road. A portion of the boundary wall, along with the beams and support columns, collapsed during ongoing excavation work, injuring three workers on site.
Preliminary information suggests that the mishap occurred due to non-compliance with standard construction safety protocols. The incident took place while soil was being excavated using a poclain machine. During the process, a section of the external wall gave way, causing the soil to collapse onto the machinery.
