At least three workers lost their lives after a wall of an under-construction building collapsed in Jaipur’s Amer area on Monday. Several others are feared to be trapped under the debris, prompting a large-scale rescue operation. Police, local administration and emergency teams rushed to the spot soon after the incident.
Wall collapses during canal excavation
According to initial information, canal excavation work was underway near Tala Mod in Amer when the accident occurred. The deep excavation is believed to have weakened the foundation of the nearby under-construction building, causing a massive wall to collapse.
Officials fear that more than 12 workers may still be trapped beneath the rubble. The injured have been shifted to a nearby hospital for treatment.
NDRF and SDRF join rescue efforts
Rescue operations are being carried out by local authorities with the help of National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) teams. Heavy equipment is being used to clear the debris and search for those trapped.
Jaipur Collector Sandesh Nayak confirmed that three workers have died in the incident. However, locals fear the death toll could rise as the rescue operation is still underway.
