Labourer killed, three hurt in water tank blast
Bathinda, September 6 According to labourers working at the site, some of them were washing their hands at the tap of the water tank, which was recently constructed with bricks and cement at about 2 pm, today. All of a sudden, it collapsed with a bang and the labourers present there were trapped under the debris. Launching immediate rescue operation, labourers started removing the material with their hands. Meanwhile, a JCB machine was also deployed there and all were pulled out within a few minutes and rushed to the Civil Hospital. After examining the victims, doctors declared one Prem Been (23) brought dead and sent his body to the mortuary. The other injured, namely, Shambu, Roodal Ram and Bandhan were admitted and underwent surgeries. Giving information, some of the eyewitnesses said, "The tank was constructed with material that was not up to the mark and there were some technical flaws in its construction. There were more than two dozen taps installed along the tank, which had also weakened it." When contacted, manger of the HBN Sunrise City, Darshan Singh, said, "First of all, HBN was not at all responsible for the mishap as the labour was a permanent worker with the construction company-SP-- a sister concern of Tata. All labourers are covered under insurance policy for any untoward incident." Refuting the charge of negligence in the construction of the tank, he said, "The tank was recently raised and all were asked to avoid its use for some days. But the labourers did not act upon the advice and this led to mishap." |
