Agra Ramlila Maidan worker dies in fall; Sunday performances rescheduled

A worker employed by an electricity contractor died on Saturday after falling while working at the historic Ramlila Maidan in Agra, leading to the suspension of that day's performances. The deceased was identified as Rahul (36), a resident of Lal Masjid, Waterworks, Kamla Nagar. He was rushed to SN Medical College, where doctors declared him dead. Deputy Commissioner of Police (City) Syed Ali Abbas confirmed that the family has been informed. Following the incident, the Pushp Vatika and Tadka Vadh performances were postponed after the aarti. The Shriramlila Committee announced all three plays will now be staged on Sunday. A similar postponement occurred in 2007 following the death of chief conductor Ravi Kumar Agrawal.
