Koradi slab collapsed as cuplock of one of the pipes in scaffolding broke
Nagpur: Construction of the Ramayana gate or VIP gate, whose slab collapsed on Saturday night, is part of the ongoing beautification and redevelopment project of the Shri Mahalaxmi Jagdamba Mandir at Koradi being implemented by the Nagpur Metropolitan Region Development Authority (NMRDA).
According to NMRDA sources, the incident happened while casting the slab of the VIP gate towards the Ramayana Cultural Centre.
"The under-construction part of the structure collapsed after cuplock of one of the pipes in the scaffolding erected for centering broke," said the sources. They said that the slab work was going on between two raised columns of the gate.
NMRDA commissioner Sanjay Meena rushed to the spot on being informed about the accident.
Sources said that the under-construction gate is part of the ongoing Rs214.94 crore phase 3 and phase 4 of the historic Koradi Temple Revelopment and Beautification project. The govt has released Rs95 crore so far, with another Rs119.94 crore awaited. Earlier, NMRDA had completed the phase 1 and 2 of the project which included redevelopment of existing temple and construction of Ramayana Museum. As part of phase 3 and 4, NMRDA is also building a 151ft tall Lord Hanuman statue, which will be largest in the state.
