Meanwhile, the death of the mason has sparked concern over safety measures at construction sites across Hyderabad. Workers in high-rise projects often rely on bamboo scaffolding, which can pose severe risks if not properly maintained or supported. The accident once again highlights the urgent need for stronger safety protocols in ongoing building projects in fast-developing urban areas like Gachibowli and Kondapur.
Police are likely to examine whether any negligence led to the collapse and whether standard safety procedures were ignored at the site. Further details will emerge after the inquiry into the mishap is completed.
