Two Brothers Die During Septic Tank Construction in Madhya PradeshPreviousNext

In Madhya Pradesh's Betul district, two brothers, Sanjay Panwar (30) and Vijay Panwar (38), died while working on a septic tank construction in Parmandal village. A third worker, Mukesh Parihar (30), who attempted to rescue them, is in critical condition. Officials suspect suffocation from accumulated gas in the tank, which had been opened after about a month. The exact cause will be determined after post-mortem examinations, according to hospital authorities.
