Worker injured as national highway overbridge falls near Kasaragod
Kasaragod: The concrete cover of the overbridge under construction as a part of the national highway development project collapsed in Periyapet on Saturday morning, injuring one worker.
The construction work went on at night too, with five workers, but the other four workers have escaped trouble. The FIR states that the construction was being carried out in an unscientific manner, said sources.
A case was registered at the Bekal Police Station.
State Public Works Minister P A Mohammed Riyas is reported to have assured that the collapse of the overbridge that was being constructed will be investigated duly. “Suitable action will also be taken once we get the police report,” he has added.
MP Rajmohan Unnithan, however, has urged for an immediate suspension of the construction work.

The ship was patrolling in the Caspian Sea near an oil and gas production platform. The extent of the damage is still being clarified, the statement added.
A drilling platform at the Filanovsky oil and gas field in the Caspian Sea was also hit. The facility is operated by Russian oil giant Lukoil. Ukrainian drones also struck a radar system in the Krasnosilske area of Crimea, which Russia illegally annexed from Ukraine in 2014.
