                              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.
