Toxic Gases In Septic Tank Kill Labourer & Contractor
New Delhi: A teenaged labourer and his contractor died after allegedly inhaling toxic gases when they entered a septic tank without any safety equipment at an under-construction house in southwest Delhi's Chhawla on Friday. Police identified the deceased 18-year-old Pradeep and the contractor who employed him, Subhash, 32, both original inhabitants of Bihar. Their family members alleged that no protective gear, oxygen masks or safety ropes were used during the work. According to police, a call was received at 1.56pm from a hospital regarding two unconscious individuals brought in from a construction site. They were declared dead on arrival. An officer said, "Preliminary investigation suggests that Pradeep went inside the under-construction septic tank, possibly after opening or removing its temporary scaffolding. He is suspected to have suffocated inside. Following this, Subhash entered the tank to help him but also lost consciousness. " He added that both likely suffocated due to the toxic fumes in the tank. The tank, police said, was newly built and measured approximately 9x9x7 ft. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Key to a Healthier Heart (Most People Ignore) Undo It had a narrow opening and was located in a partially constructed basement-like structure. "Given the confined space and lack of ventilation, the presence of noxious gases and fresh cement work likely created a suffocating environment," the officer added.

Pradeep arrived in Delhi two months ago from Bihar to celebrate Raksha Bandhan with his two sisters. He was staying with his brother-in-law, Chander Shekhar Shah, in Mahavir Enclave and had started taking up odd jobs to help with his sister's wedding expenses. Speaking to TOI, Shah claimed, "Around 10.30am, Pradeep went into the tank. No one warned him about the risks. There was no engineer or safety supervisor present. When he didn't respond, Subhash went in after him and also collapsed." Shah, who has previously done similar work in the Goyla Dairy area, said such septic tanks were common in the locality where proper sewerage was rare. "Almost every house here depends on septic tanks. In all my years of work, we've always been warned of tanks being unsafe, even newly constructed ones since the chemical they use for waterproofing can also be toxic," he said. "But here, Pradeep was just sent in. I got information about the incident from other labourers there who called me. I rushed there but it was already too late." The family has alleged grave negligence on the part of the contractor and site management. Police said investigation is under way and examination of the tank will likely be conducted to determine the precise cause of gas build-up.

Food policing again
Ghaziabad: A week after a vigilante group forced a KFC outlet in Vasundhara to serve vegetarian items in the month of Shravan, another incident of food policing has emerged in the city. The latest incident, far more intrusive, came to light after a video of it was shared widely on social media. The 2.5-minute clip purportedly shows two Bajrang Dal members intercepting a Blinkit rider who was out to deliver an order in Vijay Nagar. The men ask the rider for his name and then direct him to show the items he is delivering. As the rider complies, the men spot a non-vegetarian item in the order. "You are a Hindu, and you're doing (delivering a non-veg item) this – aren't you ashamed?" the "Bajrang" member in the video says to the rider. He then goes on to tell the rider to call the customer and talk to her. With the call on speaker phone, the video shows the vigilante "advising" the customer not to eat non-vegetarian food during Sawan. It is only after the customer identifies her religion as Christian that the vigilante in the video allows the rider to proceed with the delivery.

Read More Undo Asked about the video, a Bajrang Dal member in Ghaziabad, Subhash, told TOI that the man in the video is a member of the outfit. The incident, Subhash said, occurred on Tuesday. "We have requested all restaurants and grocery stores not to sell non-vegetarian food till Shivratri . Whenever we found any person selling non-veg food, we reached there and asked them to sell only vegetarian items. The restriction is for some days only, and people of the district also support this initiative," Subhash said. Kotwali ACP Ritesh Tripathi said the incident took place in Vijay Nagar and a team has been formed to investigate the matter. "We have not received any complaint over the incident till now," the ACP said. Multiple such incidents have been reported in NCR since preparations for kanwar yatra, which is observed during Shravan, began earlier this month. Last week, members of the Hindu Raksha Dal protested in front of a KFC outlet and Nazeer restaurant in Sector 11 of Vasundhara. The KFC outlet gave in to the outfit's intimidation and put up a notice, saying: "We are serving only veg." Ghaziabad police finally intervened and assured the outlet that there's no such restriction. A senior police officer iterated on Wednesday that there was no curb on selling non-vegetarian food items. "Stores are selling non-veg items, and police have assured them help," the officer added. Blinkit did not respond to requests for comment on the video and the incident till Wednesday evening. The matter also reached the Supreme Court, which on Tuesday refused to stay UP govt's order mandating restaurants along kanwar yatra route to display QR codes along with the names of owners. The court, which was hearing a petition against UP govt's order, said it would not get into all the issues at this stage but directed restaurant owners to display their license and registration certificates as required under the Food Safety and Standards Act.
