Palghar, February 7

Two workers were killed and two injured when a heavy iron structure of a roof fell on them at an under-construction factory in Maharashtra’s Palghar district, police said on Tuesday.

The incident took place at around 11 am on Monday in Palghar industrial area, they said.

The heavy metal structure was being mounted with the help of a crane when it fell on the workers, an official from Palghar police station said.

Ramdin Nishad (41) and Rahul Nishad (29) died on the spot, while two others were injured, he said.

The bodies were sent to a government hospital for post-mortem, he said.

The police have registered a case of accidental death and are conducting a probe, the official said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
