LUCKNOW: Four contractual sanitation workers died of suffocation, on Tuesday, while cleaning choked sewer lines in Lucknow and Rae Bareli.
None of them was provided with mandatory masks and belts, thus exposing them to toxic fumes. Twin FIRs have been lodged in both districts against four people, including a junior engineer, supervisor and contractor under the Manual Scavenging Prohibition Act, SC/ST Act, murder and culpable homicide.
