Under-Construction Structure Collapse in Chembur
The structure collapsed on a security guard's cabin within the Suman Nagar society premises which has created chaos in the area. The accident occurred at Metro Pillar 105C, where an initial 4.5-metre section had been completed, and an additional 8-metre steel reinforcement structure was being installed, reported FPJ.
The collapse occurred while the temporary shuttering was being removed. A turnbuckle fastener attached to the concrete block reportedly broke after being struck by an unknown object. This caused the ropes securing the reinforcement cage to loosen, resulting in the structure toppling onto the security cabin and damaging its metal sheet.
