Vrindavan: A woman labourer died and a male worker was seriously injured after a balcony on the fourth floor of a guesthouse collapsed during renovation work in the Ramanreti area of Vrindavan on Sunday.
The balcony of the four-storey building suddenly gave way and fell into a cowshed below, taking the two workers with it. Both were rushed to a hospital, where doctors declared the woman dead. The injured worker remains in critical condition. Police officials reached the spot and launched an investigation.
The incident occurred at Radhe Krishna Bhawan, located near the old temple of Jagadguru Kripalu Ji in the Ramanreti area. Renovation work was underway at the guesthouse.
According to the report, a contractor arrived at the site on Sunday morning with four daily-wage labourers. At around 12:30 pm, demolition work was in progress on the fourth floor when cracks reportedly began appearing in the balcony.
Before the workers could react, the balcony collapsed. A woman and a male labourer working near the wall fell along with the structure, triggering panic at the site.
With the help of nearby residents, both injured workers were immediately taken to Ramakrishna Mission Hospital. Doctors declared Rachna, a woman labourer aged around 40, dead on arrival.
The other worker, identified as 32-year-old Kaptan, son of Gopi and a resident of Bati village, sustained serious injuries and is undergoing treatment.
Following the incident, Kotwali police reached the hospital and began gathering information about the circumstances surrounding the accident. News of Rachna’s death left those present at the scene mourning.
City Superintendent of Police Rajiv Singh also visited the hospital after receiving information about the accident. He enquired about the injured worker’s condition and directed doctors to ensure the best possible treatment.
Police sent the deceased woman’s body for a post-mortem examination. Meanwhile, Circle Officer Sandeep Singh and Kotwali Station House Officer Ashwini Kumar inspected the site and collected details about the incident.
Sandeep Singh said officials were gathering information related to the case. Further action will be taken according to the law if a complaint is received.
