A labourer was today feared dead after an under construction wall collapsed on him and two others who escaped unhurt in Shashtrinagar area here, police said.
The incident occurred this morning at 8:30 AM when the labourers were working at the construction site of Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) near Science Park in the city, they said.
The labourer is feared dead. However, four cranes and two JCB machines were pressed into action to recover him, police said.
The construction site was very delicate as it leads to Aminashah Nullah and any further damage to the mud or concrete can be risky for the trapped labourer and entire bridge area, they said.
Name of the trapped labourer was yet to be ascertained, while two other labourers escaped unhurt.
