“Due to the work nearby, there is only a narrow passageway to enter into the street. On Tuesday, the woman slipped and fell from the edge of the passage- ‘way when two other people were passing through it,” said one local, asking not to be named.

Residents identified the woman as Babli Devi and said she had sustained head injuries in the fall. HT could not reach the woman for comment.
