SURAT: Three people died of suffocation while they were inspecting a recently laid sewage line for blockages at Ahir Faliya of Dokmardi locality in Silvassa town of union territory Dadra Nagar Haveli on Thursday. It took two hours to extract the workers as nearby land had to be dug up with an earthmover.
The deceased include Dharmik, who was supervising the inspection work, and two labourers Ishwar and Rajesh.
“The workers were inspecting the drainage line for blockages. Initially, one worker went inside and as he started suffocating Dharmik entered to rescue him. When both started suffocating the third labour entered and he too fell unconscious,” a UT official said.
