A concrete slab of an under-construction building collapsed on Sunday in Mapusa, injuring five workers. An eyewitness report stated that the incident happened at 12.30 on Sunday afternoon in the vicinity of the old Mapusa Municipal Council building in Angod while the process of casting the slab was underway.
When the Mapusa cops arrived on the scene late on Sunday night, no offense had been reported. Fortunately, no one was killed, but the authorities reported that five workers had been hurt and had been taken to the North Goa District Hospital for treatment. The injured were identified by the police as Bihar natives Sibu Thakur (33), Ranjeet Kumar (30), Gautam Yadav (20), and Dilip Kumar (25). Suhail Rana, a 22-year-old from Bengal, is the fifth worker.
The structure known as the "Laura Enclave," which was under construction, was having the first floor slab cast when the shuttering gave way and collapsed, according to the police. Another eyewitness report stated that it was a miracle that only five people were hurt when the slab collapsed because there were at least 15 to 20 workers on the site. An investigation into the accident has been started by the district office and the Goa Police.
