In a shocking incident, a huge girder crushed a passing vehicle and seriously injured the driver, after it allegedly fell at a Metro construction site near the Ram Manohar Lohia hospital last week. Attributed to a crane malfunction, the falling debris destroyed the car, while the driver allegedly sustained multiple fractures, according to the sources.

This comes hot on the heels of the widely reported Supratim Dutta incident, wherein an angle had gone through the body of the HCL employee after he met with an accident at the MG Road Metro site earlier this month.

Recently, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) proposed a "green drive" to increase the forest cover of the city in the wake of the Commonwealth Games.

The "Green Action Plan" would see the MCD undertake massive plantation of saplings, transplantation of trees, and the establishment and development of parks around the city. This move has brought cheer to Delhiites, who long for fresh air outside their homes.
