Gurugram: Two workers killed as dilapidated school wall collapses in DLF Phase-II
Police officer said that both were working at the site to replace several old plants with new one when the wall collapsed on them.
In Gurugram's DLF Phase-II, a dilapidated school wall collapsed during heavy rain on Friday evening, resulting in the death of two workers. Identified as Dayanand, 45, and Suraj, 35, both from Kithor village in Meerut, the men were working to replace old plants with new ones. The pair were resting near a damaged wall of the school's old building when the structure gave way around 5pm.
Construction and renovation work was ongoing at the school, which was set to receive a new extended building. However, the continuous rain had weakened the walls of the older building, causing it to collapse on the workers upon impact. Despite efforts by other workers and locals to rescue them by removing debris, the duo succumbed to their injuries.
The Gurugram police's public relations officer, Sandeep Turan, confirmed that both workers were taken to the civil hospital but were declared dead upon arrival. Their families have been notified, and further legal action will be taken based on the complaint submitted by their families after reaching Gurugram.
