Four labourers died of suffocation while cleaning a water tank at an under-construction building in Nagpada recently. Some reports claim they had fallen into the tank while others state they had gone inside to clean it.

The  incident must make us rethink safety measures for labourers working on sites across the city. They must be given safety gear based on the work they are doing. If it is construction sites, then hard hats and special apparel should be a must.
