In a startling incident in the Limbayat area of Surat, a mother and her daughter fell from the first floor of a construction site, raising questions about safety protocols at such sites. The accident occurred on the night of February 19, 2026, at approximately 9 PM when the woman was inspecting a newly constructed house named 'Dhan Dai Mata Prasanna' with her young daughter from the balcony. Due to the ongoing construction work, the balcony lacked railings or any safety measures, which ultimately led to this unfortunate incident.

The fall was captured on a nearby CCTV camera, and the video has since gone viral on social media, showcasing the heart-stopping moment when the child fell first, followed by the mother. Miraculously, both managed to survive with only minor injuries, a fortunate outcome considering the height from which they fell. The viral footage raises awareness of the hazards associated with uncompleted buildings and the need for stringent safety regulations to protect individuals at construction sites.

This incident has sparked discussions regarding the responsibilities of developers and builders to ensure adequate safety measures during construction, especially in residential areas where families may be present. The lack of railings on balconies in newly built homes poses a significant risk, as demonstrated by this event. Authorities may need to investigate the construction site to ensure compliance with safety standards and prevent future accidents of this nature.
