A tragic incident happened in Ahmedabad's GMDC ground after Prime Minsiter Narendra Modi's visit.
Nine workers were injured on the afternoon of September 18 when the dome structure, set up for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's event at GMDC Ground, collapsed during dismantling. The incident occurred while the event management company was attempting to remove the structure.
Approximately 12 workers had climbed the metal framework to begin dismantling when the structure gave way under their weight, causing the collapse. Nine workers sustained injuries and were immediately rushed to a private hospital in the Vastrapur area.
According to hospital staff, seven of the injured were treated for minor injuries in the OPD and discharged by the evening of the same day. However, two workers, identified as Vishnu Bhai Kamre (25) and Radhe Shyam (18), suffered bone fractures and remain hospitalized. Both will require surgery for their injuries.
The Vastrapur police have been informed of the incident and have initiated an investigation to determine the cause of the collapse.
Further details are awaited.
