Sindri: A 35-year-old woman, Kalyani Devi, died after a portion of land caved in and she got buried under debris near Vishwakarma project under Kusunda area of Bharat Coking Coal Limited on Friday.
Kalyani’s body was recovered five hours after the mishap. The locals blocked the Jharia-Dhanbad-Sindri main road to protest against the woman’s death. The blockade was lifted after the colliery management agreed to pay a compensation of Rs 4 lakh to the victim’s family and bear the cost of education of her two children.
According to reports, Kalyani, wife of Dilip Bauri, had gone to relieve herself along with her seven-year-old daughter Komal near the project site. Suddenly, the land subsided and she got trapped under debris. A few locals tried to rescue her, but without success.
