New Delhi: Seven people have been injured after a girder at a construction site of Delhi Metro crashed in Mohan Nagar, in Ghaziabad on the outskirts of Delhi. A car and an auto-rickshaw were crushed after the girder fell on them.
"As per initial information, it appears that a steel girder which was erected for building the foot-over bridge at Mohan Nagar collapsed. Few injuries have been reported. However, we are verifying more details," a DMRC official said.
"The Chief Project Manager and General Manager of DMRC have reached the site to take stock of the situation," he added. The bridge was being built for the Dilshad Garden-New Bus Adda section of the network.
Earlier this year, the Delhi Metro made it to the Limca Book of Records for erecting 200 girders in one of its lines within a month, on the Noida - Greater Noida corridor.
