- A two-storey building housing 17 migrant workers collapsed early on June 27, 2025, in Kodakara, Thrissur district, Kerala, killing three workers from West Bengal.
- The collapse followed heavy rainfall the previous night and raised concerns over the building's decades-old structure and lack of safety clearances.
- Rescue operations involved police, fire, local residents, and a JCB machine that helped locate three trapped victims, two of whom died en route to hospital and the third later during rescue.
- Minister V Sivankutty has instructed the Labour Commissioner to carry out a thorough investigation into the collapse, focusing on the building’s structural soundness and adherence to safety regulations, and to provide a detailed report.
- The Labour Department will arrange for the workers' bodies to be returned to West Bengal, while the state government will likely take further action based on the investigation’s outcomes to enhance the safety of worker accommodations.
