Two construction workers, Saif Ali and Mohammed Suhaib, tragically lost their lives on October 10 after a suspended work platform's cable snapped on the 48th floor of an under-construction building in Nahur, Mumbai. The incident occurred while the workers were installing lights on the exterior of the building. A suspended platform, or cardel, was in use, and the cable's failure caused the platform to tilt dangerously.
Both men had not secured their safety belts, resulting in their fatal fall from a great height. The workers, aged 21 and 31, were employed by Fasad Lighting Services, a Tamil Nadu-based electrical contracting company. The construction site's owner, site supervisor, electrical contractor, and platform maintenance firm have been named in a case of causing death by negligence.
The Navghar police are currently investigating the incident, with inadequate safety measures, including the absence of protective safety netting, identified as a contributing factor.
