A police constable was killed after a heavy piling rig toppled on him at an under-construction flyover site in Mumbai. The accident occurred on the northbound carriageway of the Sion-Panvel Highway in Mankhurd at night, when the constable was heading home on his motorcycle. Human life cannot be so cheap that this is dismissed as yet another unfortunate, under-construction accident. 

This is a huge tragedy; it should evoke outrage and action. At least three-fourths of the megapolis is witnessing construction work, which includes the redevelopment of buildings and rapid public infra, including some repair work. Every site needs to be secured. A safety inspection of whether it can take machines has to be done before heavy machinery is placed on that ground.
