Bihar labourer working in a pit at BMC construction site dies in mud collapse

The duo were rushed to a hospital, where Hayat was declared dead. His postmortem report mentioned that Hayat had died because of “polytrauma leading to shock”.

Moazzam is undergoing treatment at the Ashwini Hospital in Mulund, with injuries on the back of his head, chin and waist. The Parksite police recorded his statement.

The police found that the work of constructing a pillar of approximately two feet height was going on in a pit. “There was just a flimsy-looking net of green colour that had been carelessly placed to prevent the soil of the south side of the pit from falling on those working in the pit,” an officer said.

The police found that the contract for the work had been given to M/s Dev Engineers by the BMC’s construction department. Balveer Singh was appointed as project in-charge and Vijay Kumar Mishra as site supervisor by M/s Dev Engineers, which had assigned Kashinath Dasharath Hede of M/s Shree Balaji Enterprises a work order to complete the construction under his supervision.

“Senior site supervisor Vijaya Kumar Mishra and Kashinath Dasharath Hedde of M/s Shree Balaji Enterprises were given full responsibility at the work site, yet they disregarded the safety measures of the labourers working there. So an FIR has been registered against them,” said an officer from the Parksite police station.
