A worker was injured and several others rescued on Thursday after a part of an under-construction jetty collapsed in the Arabian Sea off Okha in Gujarat's Devbhumi Dwarka district, a police official said.
One of the four pillars of a floating jetty at the site of an under-construction jetty of the Gujarat Maritime Board collapsed, Okha marine police station sub-inspector RR Jaru said.
"Around 10-12 workers jumped into the sea, and all except one escaped unhurt. One worker rescued from the sea had to be hospitalised. He is undergoing treatment," he said.
A boat of the Okha marine police and an ambulance boat stationed nearby responded immediately for rescue operations, he added.
This comes nearly a year after a crane collapse at Okha jetty killed three people.
