Vasco: Around 30m portion of the newly-constructed retaining wall at the new airport terminal building at Dabolim came down on Wednesday afternoon. No one was hurt.
The cause of the collapse was not immediately known but it is suspected that it could be due to poor quality of work.
At about 12.30pm, the white-painted wall standing 4.5m tall, suddenly collapsed leaving 60m of the remaining wall hanging and cracked. The wall came down on the NH 17-B highway at Shantinagar.
On Wednesday evening, when the team comprising deputy collector Gaurish Sankhwalkar, Vasco mamlatdar, officials from the BDO and the PDA, visited the site, they pointed towards the substandard quality of material used in building the retaining wall.
