Communique
The Institute informs with profound sorrow and grief that a contract
labourer, named Shri Atar Singh, working on the construction site of the
multi-storied new Hall of Residence for Girls, accidently fell from 3rd
floor to 1st floor at about 0930 hrs. on 18th October, 2012. The worker
was immediately rushed to the Health Centre of the Institute, from where,
after receiving first-aid, he was immediately rushed to the Hallet
Hospital, Kanpur. However, from the Hallet Hospital he was taken to
Regency Hospital. But as his condition was critical, he was again brought
back to Hallet Hospital, where he ultimately succumbed to the injuries
sustained by him at about 1830 hrs. on 18th October, 2012.
Shri Atar Singh, son of Late Shri Mangali Prasad, was a resident of
Ghatampur, Kanpur Dehat. He was an employee of M/s ST Adwani & Co. and was
working at the construction site of multi-storied Hall of Residence for
Girls within the campus of IIT Kanpur. He is survived by his wife and two
children. The Institute has already informed all concerned authorities,
including the Regional Labour Commissioner (Central) in this regard. A
one-man enquiry has also been ordered by the Institute to look into the
facts and circumstances under which the accident occurred.
