One labourer died after falling from an under-construction building in Guwahati’s Jalukbari area on Saturday morning.

According to sources, the incident took place at the construction site of Swasteek Samriddhi apartment where the labourer, identified as Sanidul Ali, hailing from Barpeta fell from eight floor of the under-construction building and died.

It is alleged that Ali fell from the building and died as there was lack of safety measures taken for the labourers working at the construction site.

The workers at the site further alleged that their contractor employed minors to work at the construction site.

Following the allegations, Jalukbari Police have launched an investigation into the matter.

Last month, a labourer died untimely after being electrocuted in Fatasil Ambari.

The incident took place in the premises of Fatasil Ambari Police Station. The labourer had reportedly climbed a wall to clean a water tanker.

As he climbed the wall, he came in contact with a live-wire lying loose and was electrocuted. Immediately after the incident, the victim was rushed to the Gauhati Medical College and Hospital (GMCH).

However, doctors at the hospital declared him dead upon arrival.
