According to the senior officer, the sanitation workers had been using a tractor tank to clean the septic tank, but encountered difficulties in the process.

Tragically, once inside the tank, they lost consciousness and were unable to escape. Emergency services were summoned, and the victims were extricated from the septic tank before being rushed to the hospital.
