Four found dead inside manhole in Hyderabad


Hyderabad, Aug 14 (PTI): Four persons including three sanitary workers were today found dead in a manhole in Ayyappa society in Madhapur area here with the civic officials suspecting that the toxic gases caused their deaths.

An employee of 108 Ambulance service, who tried to rescue them fell ill after inhaling the poisonous gas, said R Kalinga Rao, Madhapur Police Inspector.

"The workers were cleaning the manhole. As three of them did not come out after entering, a local resident named Srinivas also climbed down to rescue them but he too did not come out," the police official said.

All four were found dead inside the manhole and their bodies were sent for post-mortem, Rao added.

A Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation official said these four persons might have died due to inhaling poisonous gases.

Deputy Mayor Fasiuddin and civic body officials rushed to the spot.

The 108 employee was rushed to hospital, Kalinga Rao said adding police are yet to register a case in this regard.

    Nobody cares for aam aadmi. Poor safety standards. Concerned authorities must be made accountable and they should be made to pay hefty compensation towards the diseased families. More than six decades of independence and still we do not care for our fellow citizens.

    There is something called as Health and Safety which needs to be strictly implemented .....There's a separate training for the people who work in confined spaces...There's a emergency plan...Unfortunately in India any one can enter a Manhole without any permits....
    Very sad...Govt must take the initiation to make sure all the health and safety regulations are strictly adhered by the workers who enter in the Manhole...
    RIP
