for base alignment (whole module weighing approximately 8MT) as soon as lifting force applied at base, top
connecting beams started falling one by one . Mr. Arjun Kr. Jha (Supervisor) & Mr. Bishnudev Tanti ( rigger) working
near by ran away, during such time falling beam struck both of them, resulted in head injury.Immidiatly they were
