Maha: 6 labourers injured in wall collapse in Kolhapur

KOLHAPUR: Six labourers were Monday injured in a wall collapse in Maharashtra’s Kolhapur district, police said. They were engaged in the reconstruction of a building in Bhende Galli area here when the wall of an adjoining house collapsed at around 2:15pm, a Juna Rajwada police station official said. “The basement of the under-construction building had been dug up and this possibly loosened the foundation of the wall of the adjoining house,” he added. “...labourers were rescued by the fire brigade of the Kolhapur Municipal Corporation. One of the labourers suffered multiple fractures while the other five got minor bruises,” he said.

Chakraborty said. Several EMU local trains were detained at different stations in the Sealdah Main and Sealdah-bongaon sections owing to the agitation. Efforts are on to persuade the agitators to lift the blockade, which is due to non-railway issues, Chakraborty said.
