Three labourers were critically injured after a 25-feet-high wall of a bakery unit collapsed on them in Baramunda’s Paikanagar here on Friday.

The injured were rescued and admitted to the Capital Hospital. The identities of the injured were yet to be ascertained.

According to sources, around six to seven labourers were engaged in the construction of a drain near the factory, when the huge wall of the bakery collapsed trapping some of them under it.

On getting information, police, Fire Services and ODRAF personnel rushed to the spot and rescued three labourers trapped under the debris.

Sources said the rescue teams were engaged in removing the debris as it was suspected that some others might have got trapped below it.
