New Delhi, Oct 3 (IANS) A crane toppled at a Delhi Metro construction site here Saturday injuring two people, police said.
The accident, blamed on “mechanical failure”, took place at the proposed Saket Metro station in south Delhi.

Although Metro officials claimed that no one was injured, police said two workers suffered injuries and were taken to a hospital.

“The incident took place at the Saket station. It appears that one crane developed a mechanical snag and lost its balance,” a Delhi Metro official told IANS.

He said there were around 30 workers at the site but no one was injured.

The Saket station is on a Metro route that will link Connaught Place in the heart of the capital to Gurgaon in neighbouring Haryana. The line is set to open in March 2010.

On July 12, an elevated Metro track collapsed in south Delhi’s Zamrudpur area killing six people and injuring around 20 workers.
