Tragedy struck in Hyderabad as a retaining wall at an under-construction apartment collapsed, claiming the lives of seven individuals, including a young child. The incident occurred in the Bachupally area on Tuesday evening and the victims were identified as migrant workers from Odisha and Chhattisgarh.
The heavy rains that hit the city and other parts of Telangana on Tuesday caused chaos and disruption in many areas. The downpour led to waterlogging and traffic congestion in various places, causing inconvenience to the residents. To address the situation, teams from the Disaster Response Force (DRF) were deployed and worked tirelessly to clear the water and fallen trees.
Early Wednesday morning, using an excavator, the local police were able to recover the bodies of the deceased from under the debris. Meanwhile, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation officials were also on the ground, supervising and coordinating the relief efforts. Principal Secretary Danakishore, accompanied by GHMC Commissioner Ronald Rose, personally visited the affected areas and provided instructions to the DRF teams.
The tragic incident serves as a reminder of the importance of proper safety measures in construction sites, especially during the monsoon season. Our hearts go out to the families of the victims, and we hope that necessary steps will be taken to prevent such tragedies from happening in the future.
