Even after over 24 hours have passed since a 135-tonne girder box and crane fell on a building in a society in Nana Varachha, a police complaint has not been filed against the responsible party. The house owner has demanded legal action against the responsible party.

After 24 hours of the horrific incident, the contractor Ranjit Buildcon, responsible for the metro project’s work in Surat, has not yet reached out to the affected family.

In Surat, the ongoing metro construction has become a major issue for the residents, with two accidents occurring within a month. Before the debris from the first incident of July 30 could be cleared, a second accident took place on Aug 22.

After the recent incident, a committee has been formed to inspect the metro project work.

Even 24 hours after the incident, no police complaint has been filed against those responsible for the accident.

The head of the family living in the bungalow, Maheshbhai, said, “We were fortunate enough that we were in Vadodara when the incident happened.”

“However, we were shocked to see the damage to our house when we came back. We feel like we are homeless despite having a home. Strict action should be taken against responsible entities,” he added.
