: An eight-year-old girl died and her brother was injured on Sunday when an earth-mover accidentally hit their house wall in Warangal during work as part of a Telanagana government cleanliness programme, an official said here.
The incident occurred when the earth-mover while cleaning the drainage in front of the house accidentally hit the wall resulting in it collapsing on the two children, they said.
The victim's family members alleged negligence on the part of the earth-mover operator.
