Not even a fortnight since a man lost his life after a part of Metro Line 4’s slab collapsed on him in Mulund, a similar mishap has taken place at another infra project — the under-construction Sewri-Worli elevated connector. An iron rod fell from the site, this time injuring a 23-year-old man who was passing under the bridge near KEM Hospital on Friday night. 

What happened 

Ganesh Vishnu Budhale was passing by KEM Hospital in Parel, when he was struck on the head by an iron rod that fell from the ongoing construction at the Sewri-Worli bridge overhead.
