The incident occurred on the Central Secretariat-Badarpur corridor’s Govindpuri station on Saturday night. The three laborers, who were placing shuttering plates on the raised platform, fell off from the platform at about 2300 hrs IST.
“The three were hurried to Moolchand Hospital. One was discharged this (Sunday) morning and the other is undergoing healing and will be discharged. Nevertheless, the third laborer has continued severe head injuries and doctors said he will be kept under surveillance,” a Delhi Metro spokesperson said.
Earlier this year, six people were killed and more than 20 injured when a part of an elevated Metro beam malformed at the Zamrudpur site on July 12, raising severe doubts on Metro’s fast-paced expansion strategy in the national capital.
The construction work at the Govindpuri site is being conducted by Gammon India, the same contractor who was blacklisted for upcoming Metro projects following the July 12 incident.
Saturday’s incident comes a few days subsequent to a young boy getting wounded when the metal girder he was sitting on toppled over, crushing his foot. Metro officials had said the boy had entered the under-construction site with no permission.
