Three factory workers die after falling into chicken feed pit filled with toxic waste
 [DAWN] Three labourers died after falling into a pit carrying toxic chemical and animal waste for producing chicken feed in the Ibrahim Hyderi area on Monday, officials said.The incident occurred when one of the labourers fell in the pit and two others went in to save him. However, if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well... they all fell unconscious and slipped into the pit and died of inhaling toxic fumes. "This is an industrial unit which produces chicken feed," said Inspector Syed Salahuddin, the SHO of the Ibrahim Hyderi cop shoppe. "It appears to be an accident but we have detained the factory owner for questioning. If any negligence is found on part of the company’s management, the law would take its due course." He said that all the victims, aged between 35 and 40, originally hailed from Chitral. "They have been identified as Iqbal Deen, Zar Wali and Darwesh. The bodies were moved to the Edhi morgue after medico-legal formalities at the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre." Posted by: Fred 2019-04-10 |
