A Nepali worker died after being hit by a rock at a road project site at Lipu-Lekh area in Uttarakhand, India, on Sunday. Jaya Singh Dhami of Darchula, who was critically injured in the incident, died on the way to hospital. His body was handed over to the family after post-mortem on Monday.
This is a second death of a Nepali worker at the road project site in three months. Trilok Singh Bista of Byas Rural Municipality-4 was killed when a dozer fell into the Mahakali river three months ago. Bista’s relative said the project provided only IRs 25,000 for funeral and that the family had yet to receive insurance money.
