Labourer dies of suffocation while cleaning 35-foot-deep well in Brahmavar; one other worker rescued
Udupi: Brahmavar Police have filed a case and are investigating into the death of a worker while cleaning an open well at Devadigara Bettu, behind the Mahalingeshwara Temple on Wednesday evening.
Two men were working at clearing the slush inside the 35-foot-deep well using bleaching powder, when one of the workers, 34-year-old Durgesh, developed breathing problems for want of oxygen and died of asphyxiation.
The local fire brigade staff members rescued the second worker, 50-year-old Adiveppa Kuri from the well. Both the workers, Kuri and Durgesh, were reportedly natives of Koppal district and were currently living in Salikere of Brahmavar taluk.
