Granada worker killed in chimney collapse amid earthquake concerns

A 42-year-old Colombian worker died in the Zaidín neighborhood of Granada after a chimney, which was being propped up for demolition, collapsed on him. Emergency services performed CPR, but the worker could not be saved. The National Police and labor inspectors are investigating the cause of the collapse and whether recent seismic activity in the province played a role.

Meanwhile, residents of the Zaidín district have organized protests and threatened to boycott upcoming local festivities, demanding more attention to the damage caused by recent earthquakes. Granada Mayor Marifrán Carazo responded by stating that the city is committed to supporting the neighborhood, asserting that no buildings in the area have structural damage. However, some residents have been displaced to shelters due to the ongoing tension and uncertainty regarding property safety.
