Two Labourers Die in Canopy Collapse of Closed Shop in FaridabadPreviousNext

Two labourers died after the canopy and concrete lintel of a closed roadside shop collapsed on them near Chawla Colony in Faridabad's Ballabgarh on Wednesday morning. The victims, Amarjit Kumar and Santosh Kumar, cousins from Bihar living in Jeevan Nagar, were trapped under debris and declared dead at a local hospital. Police cited the shop's dilapidated condition and recent heavy rainfall as possible causes. An investigation is ongoing, with potential legal action pending family complaints.
