Srinagar, Aug 07 : A simple maintenance job in Wangam village in south Kashmir’s Shopian today turned into a tragedy as two laborers fainted inside a toilet tank.
Showket Ahmad Sheikh, a local resident, and Fairoz Ahmad—a migrant laborer from Bihar—had gone inside the confined space when they inhaled the toxic fumes.
The villagers spotted the men within a few minutes and shifted them to District Hospital Shopian.
They were later referred to SMHS Srinagar for specialized treatment.
