Seven construction workers died and another was injured in an elevator collapse on September 14 at an under-construction building in Ahmedabad in western India, Times Now is among outlets to report. The elevator was on the seventh floor with all eight workers inside when it “caved in,” the source said, quoting reports, which also said the incident occurred at approximately 7:30 a.m. but was not reported until about 11 a.m. Close to Gujarat University, the building is owned by a private developer. India Prime Minister Naredra Modi extended condolences to the families of the workers who died, and local authorities are investigating “to check if someone passed wrong building plans and [will] take action accordingly.”
