A young mother and her little daughter were killed after an iron pole fell on the autorickshaw they were commuting in, over the weekend. According to reports, the rod fell from an under-construction building in the vicinity.

One cannot think of a more heart-rending story, and it is gutwrenching to think of the people they have left behind and their mental state after the horrific tragedy.
Under-construction infrastructure and buildings must be made completely safe during and after work hours. Slabs, rods and protruding elements of unfinished work just cannot be left unattended. Every safety precaution has to be taken on construction sites and passers-by and commuters in the entire area must be factored in.
