Two labourers were killed and another sustained critical injuries when a wall collapsed at a construction site in central Kashmir’s Budgam district on Monday.
Officials said the tragic incident occurred at the Ichgam Ring Road construction site, where a massive earthen wall caved in, burying three labourers working at the location.
Rescue efforts were immediately launched to extricate the trapped workers from under the debris.
The labourers were rushed to a nearby medical facility, where doctors declared two of them dead on arrival. The third labourer is undergoing treatment and is reported to be in critical condition.
The identities of the deceased and the injured are yet to be confirmed, officials said.
