Days after a Metro worker died in a crane accident while working on the Dahisar-Andheri East corridor, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has swung into action by sending a notice to the contractor and ordering that all crane operators be given fresh safety training. In addition, the contractor will also have to pay the victim's family Rs 9 lakh in compensation. There are chances that the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority, MMRDA might also impose a fine on the contractor.

The Metro worker had gone close to the crane to check why it wasn’t working, but the machine jerked into action and hit him in the head. File pic for representation
