Summary:
Police have said the stone slab was being built by gluing stone blocks to each other with a type of adhesive solution. A day after three labourers died when a stone slab collapsed on them at the under-construction foyer of a temple in Pimple Gurav, the contractor in charge of the work has been arrested. Workers at the site were not given the requisite safety equipment such as helmets, safety shoes and nets, said police. The other workers on the site, along with local residents, pulled out the injured workers and rushed them to a hospital. This slab collapsed around 3 pm on Wednesday, when 12 workers were standing under it..
