Woman falls off talking on cellphone

A 40-year-old woman, Mukala Durga Devi, suffered a fatal fall from the second floor of building as the newly constructed parapet wall on which she was leaning while answering a phone call on her mobile caved in at Ramakrishna Nagar in Rajahmundry in East Godavari on Tuesday. She died on the spot. The parapet wall was constructed in the morning.

At about 3.30 pm, Durga Devi climbed up the second floor of the building which was being constructed when she got a call on her mobile. She had bought space in the building recently. She used to sell coconuts in the local temple and is survived by her husband and two children.
