Varanasi: 

At least 12 people have died and several are feared trapped after a portion of an under construction flyover collapsed in Uttar Pradesh's Varanasi today, news agency ANI has reported. Two pillars of the under construction flyover collapsed in Varanasi's Cantt area, bringing a huge slab of concrete down, crushing cars and a local bus under it.

Many of those trapped are reported to be labourers who were working on the flyover.

Five teams of the National Disaster Response Force or NDRF has been deployed to help out with the rescue operations. Dozens of policemen are also present at the spot.
 

 

An eyewitness, who was 50 metres from the collapse site, said the help came in after an hour. "Four cars, an auto-rickshaw and a minibus were crushed by it... The help came after an hour," the eyewitness said.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has directed his deputy Keshav Prasad Maurya and minister Neelkanth Tiwari to visit the spot.

"The chief minister has expressed grief and directed the administration to speed up rescue operation," UP minister Sidharth Nath Singh told ANI.

 


Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted to say that he has spoken to officials and asked them to ensure all possible support to those affected. "I spoke to UP CM Yogi Adityanath Ji regarding the situation due to the collapse of an under-construction flyover in Varanasi. The UP Government is monitoring the situation very closely and is working on the ground to assist the affected," he said.
 

The Congress tweeted to say, "We are deeply saddened by the news of the collapse of an under construction flyover in Varanasi. Our thoughts are with the families of those who have lost their lives. We wish those who are injured a speedy recovery."

Former chief minister Akhilesh Yadav appealed to the workers of his Samajwadi Party to assist the rescue teams. He also tweeted, "I hope the government will not just wash their hands off by paying compensation, rather will order a fair investigation."

వారణాసి: వారణాసిలో ఘోర ప్రమాదం జరిగింది. నిర్మాణంలో ఉన్న ఫ్లైఓవర్ ఒక్కసారిగా కుప్పకూలడంతో 26 మంది మృతి చెందారు. పలువురు గాయపడ్డారు. ఇదిలా ఉంటే శిథిలాల కింద 50మందికి పైగా చిక్కుకున్నట్లు సమాచారం. పలు వాహనాలు కూడా ధ్వంసమయ్యాయి. స్థానిక సమాచారం మేరకు ఘటనాస్థలికి చేరుకున్న పోలీసులు సహాయక చర్యలు చేపడుతున్నారు. అత్యవసర చికిత్స కోసం క్షతగాత్రులను స్థానిక ఆస్పత్రికి తరలించి వైద్యం అందిస్తున్నారు. కాగా మృతుల సంఖ్య పెరిగే అవకాశం ఉంది. ఈ ఘటనకు సంబంధించి మరింత సమాచారం తెలియాల్సి ఉంది.
