A tragic accident unfolded at a construction site in Sarfabad village on Friday when scaffolding allegedly collapsed, leading to the death of laborer Mohit Pal and injuring another named Jeetu. Police were alerted via Dial-112 and promptly arrived at the scene from Sector 113 police station.
The victims, identified as Mohit Pal from Hardoi and Jeetu from Rajasthan, resided in Sector 113. The collapse reportedly occurred when the shuttering of the unfinished structure gave way. Both workers were taken to a nearby hospital, where Mohit succumbed to his injuries. Jeetu is currently undergoing treatment, as police confirmed.
