At least two labourers lost their lives in a serious crane accident at construction site of multi-billion rupee Orange Line project in Lahore.
According to sources, the incident took place on Raiwind Road near Ali Town where a huge crane touched a 11,000 kv transmission line. As a result, four labourers suffered burn injuries and were electrocuted. They were shifted to hospital where two breathed their last, police and rescue officials said.
With no safety measures for construction workers, authorities claimed the accident occurred due to negligence of the crane operator.
The project has so far claimed lives of six people since its groundbreaking in September last year.
