Metro Mishap
Massive concrete slabs being used in the construction of an overhead Metro rail stretch in east Delhi fell on a Blueline bus killing its driver and a construction worker early Sunday morning. Eleven people were injured.
The concrete pre-fabricated slabs called segments were being mounted between pillars that would eventually support tracks for the Metro trains to run in Laxmi Nagar when the accident happened.
Had it not been Sunday, the toll would have been much higher as the traffic on weekdays is extremely dense here, moving at a crawl most parts of the day.
Both the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation and the Delhi government ordered separate inquiries. The Metro corporation also put on hold construction work across its network.
