EMERGENCY: An ambulance exiting the premises of Asha Kiran
Three workers died after allegedly inhaling poisonous gas inside a septic tank at a factory in Mundka area of outer Delhi on Friday, officials said.
According to the Delhi Fire Services (DFS), a call was received at 12.03 pm reporting that some persons were trapped inside a septic tank at a factory in Mundka Industrial Area.
Three men — Arun (38), Sandeep (32), and Chand (42), all residents of Sultanpuri — had entered the septic tank and allegedly fell unconscious after inhaling toxic fumes.
Two emergency vehicles were rushed to the spot initially. However, owing to heavy vehicular traffic on the way, the response team reported “traffic jam” at 12.23 pm. Subsequently, another vehicle was dispatched from the opposite direction through Tikri to expedite the rescue.
Officials said during the operation, fire department personnel brought out the trio from the tank, but they were found dead.
