Mathesha’s wife was uncontrollable
Mallamma, wife of deceased Manthesha alias Anand, was shattered with her husband’s death. The woman, carrying a two-year-old girl child, rushed to the spot from Chinthalbasti along with relatives.
Hyderabad: Mallamma, wife of deceased Manthesha alias Anand, was shattered with her husband’s death. The woman, carrying a two-year-old girl child, rushed to the spot from Chinthalbasti along with relatives.
Mallamma almost collapsed on reaching the hospital as she learnt that her husband died in the mishap. The young woman in her mid twenties with two children was left only with memories of her husband.
Manthesha along his wife and two kids migrated to the city from Raichur in search of livelihood. The couple was among the 20 families that migrated about six years ago.
“He along with another deceased Ansoor was working on the concrete mixture machine when the incident happened,” said 40-year-old Sitaram, who also suffered injuries to his head and limbs.
‘Anisur was a nomad’, says his brother Josim Shaik, younger brother of the deceased Anisur said, “Four of us from Murshidabad came to Hyderabad three years ago. Anisur is married and has three children, including a daughter. We informed his wife about Anisur’s death. She is in shock and she does not know how to come here.”
Explaining about their nomadic lifestyle, Josim said, “We are working with a labour contractor. We do not have a home to live. We sleep in the contractor’s vehicle and it is our house. We travel in it and go for work in the vehicle.” “Nobody contacted us yet. The construction supervisor said he will talk to our contactor Vimal. With a wage of Rs 350 per day, what can we do now?” said Josim.
“The contractor Konda Rao was in a hurry to finish the work. We started laying pillars yesterday night, and then started to work on the slab for portico. Simultaneously, the extension of the building attached to the portico was being done. The pillars were very wet. Instead of quality iron rods, the contractor used plastic pipes of six-inch thickness. We filled sand in it and laid the slab,” said Sitaram, an injured worker.
He said, “We escaped death, as some of us who were on the top held on to the iron rods and saved ourselves. “Only Anisur and Manthesha were on the ground. All others were on the top to lay the roof,” said Sitaram.
