Two construction workers died after a mud wall collapsed at a Bangalore Development Authority underpass site. Eyewitnesses described the sudden cave-in, noting that three other laborers were rescued by colleagues after being partially buried.
“I screamed ‘niklo, niklo’ (get out) as soon as I saw the soil loosening and caving in. But they had very little time to move. I saw them being buried under a heap of soil. All this unfolded within a matter of seconds,” said Srinivas, who runs a condiments stall directly opposite the spot where the under-construction BDA underpass caved in on Tuesday.
