Two labourers from Jharkhand were killed under a mound of gravel in a private gravel breaking yard at Korattagiri in Denkanaikottai.
The victims, Vijay Karbusa (33), and Lidologar (29) were engaged in unloading of gravel from a tipper lorry when the vehicle accidentally tipped off dropping the gravel on the victims. They died under the weight of the load, despite efforts of fellow workers to rescue them. After a two-hour struggle, the bodies were retrieved and sent for an autopsy to Hosur Government hospital. A case has been registered against tipper lorry driver Subramani for negligence causing death.
