A tragic industrial accident claimed the lives of three workers after they inhaled toxic gas inside a septic tank at a factory in Delhi’s Mundka Industrial Area on Friday. According to the Delhi Fire Service, a distress call was received from Factory No. 93/8 in Mundka Industrial Area, following which two fire tenders were rushed to the spot. Preliminary information suggests that one worker had entered the septic tank for work when he was overcome by poisonous gases and lost consciousness. In a desperate attempt to save him, two other workers entered the tank one after another. However, they too were exposed to the toxic fumes and collapsed inside the confined space.
