Mon, Jul 31 2023If the height of the parapet was adequately supported by metal railings on top there was no chance of him toppling off even if he slipped; in third world countries, with no proper regulations, such things happen!

Mon, Jul 31 2023RIP; very very unfortunate and tragic! In many buildings, the parapet wall is not of the required height, also there is no protective metal railing above it so that such calamities be avoided; otherwise, there is remote possibility of such a matured youngster to topple over unless he used a stool!!

Mon, Jul 31 2023So sad to hear this news. Why people are so careless that in such heights can not even put a safety grills or at least pegion nets? is the money spent on this costlier than losing life? This is the basic safety measure to be taken by all. No matter how much we are confident that we will not fall but nothing will cost to put these basic safety measures.

Mon, Jul 31 2023What you are saying is right; but don't you think it's also the the responsibility of reputed builders who charge you through your nose, cheating on the basis of super built up area?
