With 1 days to go for the Commonwealth Games, a gleaming new steeland-concrete suspension pedestrian overbridge came crashing down on Tuesday at the main event venue, Jawahar Lal Nehru Stadium.
The disaster left at least 27 workers injured and heightened concerns about the safety of structures being readied in a mad rush for the October 3 opening. Among the injured, five of them seriously , was a site engineer.
Authorities refused to pin blame on any agency and Delhi government's Public Works Department, which has been entrusted with several CWG projects, said it had tendered two foot overbridges , including the one destroyed , to a Chandigarhbased company P&R Infraprojects for Rs 10.34 crore. Work on both the archshaped foot overbridges started in March and was scheduled to end this month.
