‘We suspect 7 people are dead’: Officials on Bengaluru quarry rock collapse

Police said 15 to 20 workers were at the quarry when the boulder fell, and six injured laborers were taken to hospital.

  • On Thursday, a massive boulder collapsed at the Kaveri Jelly Crusher in Bengaluru South Taluk, killing seven migrant workers and injuring six others as rescue operations continue for those feared trapped.
  • Preliminary findings suggest a Hitachi machine clearing space nearly 100 feet above dislodged the boulder while around 15 to 20 laborers from Bihar and Yadgir district were working below.
  • Tavarekere Police Station personnel launched search-and-clearance operations immediately after the collapse, while quarry owner Anandaswamy was taken into custody for questioning.
  • Karnataka Chief Minister DK Shivakumar expressed grief over the tragedy in Madapattana, stating the incident "caused the death of 7 workers, bringing immense sorrow."
  • Shivakumar warned the government will take action against quarries violating safety regulations, emphasizing owner responsibility; this incident follows a separate mudslide claiming two labor deaths in Bengaluru last month.
