Tamil Nadu: Wall collapse kills worker; 1 injured in Tirusulam

CHENNAI: A wall collapse killed a construction worker and left another worker injured at Tirusulam near Meenambakkam on Monday.
The deceased worker Sekar, 55, was engaged by his relative Subramani, 62, of Uzhaipalar Nagar in Moovarasampattu, to demolish his house.
The two workers were in the process of demolishing the compound wall on Monday when a portion of the wall collapsed, resulting in the duo getting buried underneath the debris.
