Two killed in wall collapse in Sikkim

Two workers engaged at an under-construction ropeway site in Sikkim's Pelling area were killed in a wall collapse on Saturday morning, police said.

Three other workers were also injured in the incident but they are stated to be out of danger.

A wall at the construction site collapsed on five workers who hailed from neighbouring West Bengal, a police officer said, adding further investigation is underway.

The deceased have been identified as 30-year-old Rabi Roy and 50-year-old Sudhurum Oraon.

The ropeway is being constructed from Pelling helipad to Sangcholing skywalk and is scheduled to be completed next year.
