Hyderabad: Two daily-wage workers were buried alive when a wall collapsed on them at a demolition site at Tagari Naka under Hussainialam police station limits here on Thursday evening. The workers were engaged in demolishing a building when the wall caved in, police said.
According to police, the incident took place around 4 pm when Ramu, 20, a resident of Ashok Nagar and Suresh, 26, of Ibrahimpatnam, were demolishing a portion of the building. Under its impact an adjacent wall collapsed leaving them trapped under the rubble.
