No Warning Sign, Delhi Woman Killed As Concrete Slab Machine Falls On Her

A woman identified as Manju was killed on the spot in Delhi after a concrete slab lifting machine collapsed while she was walking past a construction site. The incident occurred suddenly, leaving the victim no time to escape the falling heavy machinery.

Witnesses at the scene claimed that the area lacked any form of warning signs or safety cordons to alert the public of ongoing hazardous work. Local residents have raised concerns regarding the apparent negligence in safety protocols by the contractors at the site.

Police have arrived at the location to initiate an investigation into the cause of the mechanical failure and the lack of safety measures. Further legal action is expected once the preliminary probe into the construction site management is completed.
