Two die ‘inhaling toxic gas’ at Savar

SAVAR, Oct 13 (UNB): Two workers died after 'inhaling toxic gas' in a water tank of a tannery at Savar Tannery Industrial Estate on Sunday morning.

One of the deceased was identified as Bappy, a tannery worker.

In-charge of Savar Tannery Industrial Estate police camp Inspector Emarat Hossain said an unidentified man went into the water tank of the tannery in the morning to clean it.

As he did not come back even after a long time, Bappy also climbed down the tank only to become unconscious.

The duo was rescued by other workers and taken to Enam Medical College Hospital where doctors declared them dead.
