Chennai:
The Rs 20 crore Manjambakkam Container Truck Terminal was mired in controversy with the death of a CMDA official after an emergency gate fell on him.
The truck terminal, which had kicked up controversy after a CMDA engineer alleged poor quality of work, erupted into another controversy when junior engineer K Seshadri died in a freak accident while trying to close the emergency gate of the truck terminal.
A CMDA official said that it was a side gate towards the back side of the truck terminal. “He and the security persons pulled the gate which came off the railings and fell on Seshandri around 9.30am,” said the official.
Interestingly, CMDA will be conducting an enquiry on the whole incident.
“Usually, the emergency gate should be kept locked as the main entrance gate is functioning. The main gate is the only gate where the entrance fee is collected,” said a CMDA source.
