On Sunday, four workers tragically lost their lives in Surat, India, after inhaling toxic gas while cleaning a tank at a jewellery firm’s Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP). The incident occurred in the Ashwini Kumar area during a routine cleaning operation. According to Deputy Commissioner of Police Alok Kumar, the workers were performing their duties when one fell into the tank, prompting the others to attempt a rescue, resulting in all four fatalities. Preliminary investigations indicate that the victims lacked proper safety gear, which likely contributed to the incident. Chemical poisoning is suspected as the cause of death, although final confirmation will depend on post-mortem results. Divisional Fire Officer Ranjit Singh noted that the site initially appeared to be a water tank but was found to contain toxic gas, leading to the workers' collapse due to high concentrations. Authorities have initiated an investigation and registered a case of accidental death in connection with the incident.
