Mumbai, September 19, 2026: A 54-year-old plumber named Wasi Haider Rizvi lost his life on September 18 when an iron barricade near a divider during Metro construction fell onto his moving motorcycle in Vikhroli West. Rizvi, a resident of Gosiya Chawl in Ghatkopar West, was on his way to Mulund when the accident occurred around 11:30 am near the Rosary Building.
