Seven building employees had been killed when a wall collapsed on them at a building website in Gujarat’s Mehsana district on Saturday, police stated. A rescue operation is underway, fearing that extra employees might be trapped beneath the particles.
The incident occurred when a number of labourers had been digging a pit for an underground tank for a manufacturing unit close to Kadi city, roughly 37 km from the district headquarters.
After the wall collapsed, the employees had been buried alive beneath unfastened soil.
Mehsana Superintendent of Police Tarun Duggal confirmed the demise toll, because the rescue operations continued.
