In a tragic incident in Mankhurd, Mumbai, police constable Santosh Gopal Chavan was killed when a heavy piling rig collapsed on him at an under-construction flyover site on the Sion-Panvel Highway. The accident occurred on Tuesday night as Chavan was riding home on his motorcycle. He sustained severe injuries and was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital. Preliminary investigations suggest the rig may have been positioned on unstable soil, leading to its collapse. The accident caused significant traffic disruptions in the eastern suburbs, including slow movement on the Eastern Expressway. In response, the Mankhurd police are registering a case against the contractor for alleged negligence and are reviewing safety protocols at the site. This incident adds to concerns regarding construction safety in Mumbai, following previous accidents involving heavy machinery.
