In a tragic incident on March 1, two construction workers lost their lives following a scaffold collapse at an under-construction building in the Gundhipara area of Anwara Upazila, Chattogram. The deceased have been identified as 19-year-old Siam from Kushtia and 25-year-old Anis from Rajshahi. The accident occurred at approximately 11:00 AM while the pair, along with four other laborers, were plastering the outer walls of the structure. According to official reports, a railing suddenly broke, causing the workers to fall onto the scaffold, which subsequently gave way under the impact. Siam died instantly at the scene, while Anis was rushed to the Anwara Upazila Health Complex, where medical professionals declared him dead on arrival. Officer-in-Charge Md Junayet Chowdhury confirmed that police have inspected the site and recovered the bodies for legal procedures. No other injuries were reported among the remaining construction crew on-site.
