DEHRADUN: At least two labourers from Uttar Pradesh died and six others sustained injuries after a part of an under-construction bridge being built to connect Sirobagad and Narkota areas in Rudraprayag on the Char Dham all-weather road, collapsed around 9 am on Wednesday.
Soon after the accident, a team from the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) reached the spot to rescue the eight labourers who were trapped under the shuttering (net of iron rods) of the under-construction bridge. While two of the labourers could not be saved, the other six were taken to hospital. Out of the six injured, four were critically hurt and were shifted to another medical facility later.
