A 30-year-old man from Bhatnura Kalan village in Kapurthala district, Punjab, tragically lost his life in a construction accident in Surrey, Canada. The deceased, identified as Manvinder Singh, had been living and working in Canada for the past two years under a work permit.
According to initial reports, Manvinder was employed at a construction site when the fatal accident occurred. The exact cause of the mishap remains under investigation by local authorities. Efforts are being made to determine whether safety lapses or equipment failures contributed to the tragedy.
Family members in Punjab were devastated upon receiving the news. Local residents and community leaders have expressed deep sorrow over the loss, describing Manvinder as a hardworking young man who had moved abroad in search of better opportunities. “He went to Canada with hopes of supporting his family, but fate had other plans,” said a relative.
Authorities in both countries are now coordinating to facilitate the repatriation of Manvinder Singh’s body to India. The Indian consulate in Vancouver is reportedly assisting in the process.

Community organizations have called for stronger safety regulations and better support systems for foreign workers.
As investigations continue, Manvinder’s death stands as a somber reminder of the challenges confronting thousands of Indians striving to build their futures far from home.
