RANCHI - Two labourers died while unloading marble slabs from a truck here Tuesday, police said.

“The labourers were buried when a heap of marble slabs fell on them. They died on the spot. The marble was brought from Rajasthan for construction work of a private hospital,” a police official told IANS.

The relatives of the labourers blocked the Ranchi-Patna national highway in protest and demanded compensation of Rs.5 lakh from the government. The blockade was cleared after three hours.
