LB Nagar Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Sridhar Reddy said a small stretch collapsed when workers were laying the slab. Police registered a case and took up investigation. The ACP said since the flyover work was still on, action can’t be taken against the contractor for poor quality.

Rachakonda Police Commissioner D. S. Chuhan and LB Nagar DCP Sai Sri also visited the spot.

Local MLA Sudheer Reddy also visited the accident site and spoke to the workers. Local leaders of opposition Congress and BJP alleged that poor quality of work and negligence led to the accident.
