TURA, Sep 29: A worker who was engaged in earthwork at Mondol Tilla locality in Hawakhana, Tura, was killed on Wednesday after a muddy wall collapsed on him.
The incident occurred at around 10:30 am when two brothers, engaged in labour work at the residence of Babita M Sangma, were cutting the soil around the house.
It was during that time around a ton of loose earth from above came crashing down on them. While the younger one was successful in cheating death, the soil buried the other alive.
The locals then rushed in to the scene, removed the earth and retrieved the victim’s body.
