A tragic incident occurred near the Rajasthan–Haryana border at an under-construction residential society in Kapariyawas, close to Bhiwadi, where a section of soil collapsed during excavation work. This led to the death of seven laborers, with four others sustaining injuries. The incident took place during deep excavation work for a basement or foundation near the Delhi–Jaipur National Highway 48.
Rescue efforts were promptly initiated as the earthen wall of the pit collapsed, trapping workers underneath. Local residents and laborers at the site rushed to assist upon hearing cries for help, with police and rescue teams quickly alerted. Heavy machinery, including JCB excavators, was utilized in the rescue operation to clear debris and locate trapped workers.
Medical teams at the government hospital in Bhiwadi confirmed the unfortunate loss of seven lives, with one worker in critical condition referred to a higher medical facility after initial treatment. Dr. Sagar Arora, a physician at the hospital, stated that the victims were declared dead upon arrival, while four others are currently receiving treatment, with one requesting transfer to Jaipur for further medical care.
The deceased, including Parmeshwar (52), Satish (35), Bhagirath (50), and Mangal (32), have been identified, while efforts are ongoing to confirm the identities of the remaining victims. Concerns have been raised by family members and eyewitnesses regarding alleged negligence at the construction site, citing inadequate safety measures despite the deep excavation.
Authorities from both Rajasthan and Haryana have been informed about the incident, as the rescue operation continued to search for any other potentially trapped workers. The tragedy has deeply affected the families of the victims and sparked discussions on safety protocols at construction sites in the region.
