Worker dies while fixing fault in sewer in NFC, two injured
A 43-year-old worker died, while his brother and their cousin’s nephew were injured after entering a manhole in south-east Delhi’s New Friends Colony on Sunday evening. According to police and locals, the deceased, Panth Lal Chander, entered the manhole to rescue his brother Ramkishan Chander and their cousin’s nephew Shiv Das, who were trapped by toxic fumes while repairing the leakage. Shiv Das, who was discharged late Sunday, said Panth’s wife had not been informed about her husband’s death until Monday evening due to concerns about her emotional state. In a press statement on Monday, the department said, “The site was inspected at 10 am and it was observed that these three persons were neither DJB regular staff nor contractual workers.
