His tragic death has once again been brought for surface questions about safety and precautionary measures at high growth construction sites.
Thane: A 33-year-old construction worker died after falling from the 13th floor of a low-building building in Surwal Chowk area of Badlapur East around 3 pm on Saturday. His tragic death has once again been brought for surface questions about safety and precautionary measures at high growth construction sites.
The deceased has been identified as Pramod Khadia, a native of Chhattisgarh, who had been living at the construction site with his wife for the last few months. When he was engaged in construction work on the 13th floor, he fell.
Kiran Balwadkar, Senior Police Inspector of Badlapur East Police Station, confirmed the incident and said, “We have filed a contingent death report. There is further investigation to determine whether there was any negligence from the contractor or site management.”
The family members of the deceased alleged that there was no security system on the site. One of Khadia’s relatives said, “No harryness, helmet, or other protective gears were not given to him. He was working without any security measures.”
Many laborers working in the area resulted in similar concerns. He claimed that despite a high -growing construction boom across the city, contractors often fail to provide original security equipment, putting the lives of workers at risk.
Badlapur East Police is likely to call the contractor for questioning and send a report to the Labor Department for further action.
