In Dushanbe, four men fell from a height while installing windows in a multi-story building. Two of them died, and two others were hospitalized, the Dushanbe Emergency Management Department reports.
A source within the Dushanbe Emergency Management Department says the incident occurred in Dushanbe’s Bofanda neighborhood on May 9.
Three of the workers were residents of Hisor, and one was from Dushanbe’s Firdavsi district in the capital.
“The deceased were men aged 21 and 37, while the injured — aged 25 and 41 — were taken to Shifobakhsh Hospital and Hospital No. 3,” the source noted.
An investigation is ongoing, and officials did not specify from which floor the men fell.
Over the weekend, social media posts claimed that a crane with workers had fallen in the capital. According to those reports, the men were installing a window on the sixth floor of an 18-story building.
Previous incident involving children
Earlier in Dushanbe, three children died after a wall collapsed at a construction site. The incident occurred on Habibullo Nazarov Street, where construction was being carried out by DSK Tajikistan. Company staff claimed that the collapsed wall did not belong to them.
The victims were a 4-year-old Basbigul, a 10-year-old Ziyodullo, and a 9-year-old Yusuf, all of whom lived near the construction site.
Their mother stated that after pulling her daughter from the rubble, she lost consciousness, and when she came to, she learned that her son had also died under the fallen wall.
A criminal case was launched by the prosecutor’s office of Dushanbe’s Ismoili Somoni district, and several employees of DSK Tajikistan were arrested.
