CHANDIGARH: The Haryana Human Rights Commission has taken suo motu cognisance of a media report relating to the death of two people in a septic tank in Hisar district.
The report said two workers, Somveer and Virender, employed at a hotel in Hansi town, were forced to enter a septic tank without protective gear after the sewer motor malfunctioned.
One worker fell unconscious immediately upon entering the tank, while the other attempted to rescue him but also lost consciousness. Both died, presumably due to exposure to poisonous gases inside the tank. The families of the deceased have accused the hotel management of negligence and coercion, blaming it for the incident.
