Mangaluru: One of the workers, who got trapped under the mud due to a landslide at a construction site at Balmatta, has died.
The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) retrieved the body of one worker. The deceased has been identified as Chandan Kumar, a native of Uttar Pradesh.
Another worker, Raj Kumar (18) from Bihar, was rescued earlier in the day and admitted to the hospital.
Rescue operations, hampered by intermittent rain, continued into the night.
The incident occurred on a plot reportedly owned by a private construction company along the Balmatta road. Approximately 60 workers were on-site at the time of the incident, with two becoming trapped.
District officials, including the District Commissioner and the Police Commissioner, visited the site. Firefighters, along with personnel from SDRF and NDRF, were pressed into rescue operations.
The rescuers tried breaking the retaining wall and removing the soil simultaneously. Medical teams provided drips and monitored the rescued worker closely. Despite the timely intervention, Chandan Kumar could not be saved.
