Two construction workers die after fall from building

Two construction workers died after  the scaffolding collapsed  while they were working on the fourth floor of an under-construction  building in Dhaka's Bashundhara Residential Area yesterday morning.

The deceased are Asadul Islam (25) of Rajshahi and  Khairul Islam (20) of Chapainawabganj. Both  lived at the  construction site.

Around 10am, the scaffolding collapsed as the rope somehow tore off. The two were critically injured after the fall.

Both were rushed to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) where doctors  declared them dead, said Bachchu Mia, inspector of DMCH Police Outpost.

The bodies were kept at the hospital morgue for autopsy.
