Guwahati, 20th September: A seven-year-old child, identified as Hasid Akhtar Ahmed, tragically lost his life when a wall from an under-construction building partially collapsed in Guwahati’s Hatigaon area. The incident occurred while Ahmed, a student at Blue Bell School, was playing with three other children near the construction site.
According to local residents, the wall crumbled, striking Ahmed, who was rushed to Gauhati Medical College. Despite efforts, doctors declared him dead upon arrival.
