Workers on 21st floor of Navjeevan SRA Society fell from a safety net after a concrete slab fell on them
Navjeevan SRA Society in Malad East
Three labourers were killed, and three others critically injured after a massive concrete slab collapsed from the 21st floor of the Navjeevan SRA Society in Malad East on Thursday. A 46-year-old woman narrowly escaped by jumping to safety moments before the slab came down. The Dindoshi police are preparing to file an FIR against the contractor and builder.
The labourers were working on the 21st floor, filling the slab of the D wing in Tower 28 of Navjeevan SRA Society. They had started their work early at 5.30 am when, around 12.15 pm, the slab gave way, sending them plummeting to the ground along with the debris. Following the incident, residents gathered outside the society, blocking the road and demanding the immediate arrest of builder Devendra Pandey and others involved.
