Manhole

In an inhuman act the BWSSB asked three labourers to get into the manhole without any safety gears and oxygen, who died of suffocation on Monday midnight at CV Raman Nagar in Bengaluru.

Despite widespread awareness campaign, protests and even deaths, the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) is yet to learn a lesson.

It is suspected that they lost consciousness after inhaling the poisonous gasses emanating from the pit.​
