mid day editorial: Repair work must keep pedestrians in mind, too
Updated On: 17 April, 2019 07:11 AM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondent
We have seen so many accidents during repair work that this needs to be taken up on a war footing

One person died while three sustained injuries after a portion of scaffolding of an under repair building near Dharavi collapsed. At night, a section of the scaffolding broke and fell on the road, which is why a young auto driver died and a passenger and pedestrian suffered injuries.
The negligence is shocking. How did the scaffolding come loose and break? Was there no safety net installed to shield the people below from the ongoing work? It is imperative and absolutely non-negotiable that safety precautions are in place before any kind of work begins.
