Three Workers Killed in Concrete Slab Collapse at Kozhikode Corporation Building

A concrete slab collapsed on Monday at a decades-old Kozhikode Corporation-owned building in Valiyangadi, Kerala, killing three headload workers—Jabbar, Ashraf, and Basheer—and injuring two others, one critically. The building, formerly a passport office and now used as a warehouse, was reportedly in a dilapidated state. Rescue teams extricated the victims, and investigations into the cause are ongoing. Opposition parties have criticized the corporation for alleged negligence regarding the building's condition.
