Guwahati: A serious accident occurred this morning at the Goswami Service construction site, where a new flyover is being built in Guwahati. A dangerous short circuit during construction activities resulted in critical injuries to one worker.
The injured worker, identified as Saibul Haque, was immediately attended to by emergency responders at the scene. Due to the severity of his injuries, he was quickly transported to Gauhati Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) for urgent medical treatment. His critical condition has raised serious concerns about the safety precautions in place at major construction projects like this flyover.
Mr. Haque’s unfortunate accident has brought into sharp focus the vital need for stronger safety measures and better risk management practices at construction zones. As flyovers are vital for the city’s infrastructure, ensuring the well-being of the workers involved is paramount to avoid future incidents.
The ongoing flyover project is a key part of the city’s plans to improve transportation and reduce traffic. However, this incident has led to a temporary halt in construction as authorities begin a thorough investigation into the cause of the electrical fault. The aim is to ensure a safe working environment before construction resumes.
Following the accident, a comprehensive review of all safety regulations at the construction site has been initiated. Officials are determined to prevent similar accidents and are considering all necessary steps to reinforce safety standards. This review will include a detailed examination of the electrical systems and emergency response procedures.
