New Delhi: Mumbai-based Gammon Infrastructure has said that it will pay compensation to the families of all the six employees who were killed when an under-construction bridge of the Delhi Metro collapsed on Sunday.
"We will pay compensation to all the six employees who were killed. Whether we will demand compensation from Delhi Metro Rail Corporation will be decided in a day or two," Gammon Infrastructure Vice President Business Development Ramakrishna Telang said.
He declined to divulge the amount of compensation the company has decided to pay.
The portion that collapsed was part of an elevated section of a new Metro route between the Central Secretariat and Badarpur section. It was being constructed by Gammon Infrastructure.
Fifteen people were injured in the mishap. The Delhi Metro attributed the accident to a "problem in the design" of pillar.
