Shivamogga (Karnataka), April 11 -- Three labourers were killed and four others injured after a landslide struck a road construction site in Karnataka's Shivamogga, police said on Friday. The incident took place on Thursday afternoon at a hairpin bend in Hulikal Ghat in Hosanagara taluk. The victims have been identified as Raghavendra (37), Raju (30), and Shabbir (40), all engaged in wall construction work at the site, they said. Chief minister Siddaramaiah has announced a compensation of Rs.five lakh each for their families. According to officials, a massive landslide of soil and rocks from the hillside buried the workers. A total of seven workers were caught in the landslip. While three labourers died on the spot, rescue teams pulled out four workers and shifted them to nearby hospitals, they said. The incident took place during construction of a retaining wall to ensure safety of vehicles navigating the ghat section, known for its steep curves and landslide-prone terrain. An SDRF team from Mangaluru took up relief work early Friday. A case has been registered, and a probe is on to ascertain whether safety measures were in place at the worksite, said officials....
