Two labourers die of suffocation

MANSEHRA: Two labourers suffocated to death in a well they were cleaning as rescuers were unable to pull them out in time. Two labourers Mohammad Sajjad and Mohammad Nazakat were hired by one Raja Asif to clean the well at his house in Mohallah Channia.

However, they became unconscious after exhaling some poisonous gas inside the well.

The local people informed a civic agency to rescue the labourers, but they could not reach in time to save them.

The locals pulled out the labourers from the well and rushed them to the King Abdullah Teaching Hospital where doctors pronounced them dead.
