A major accident occurred at the Shri Ganga Hotel located on the Ujjain-Dewas Road, where four people died after descending to clean an overground chamber at night.

The deceased have been identified as Kamlesh Tamboli, Nitin Wahid, and Manoj Meena, while the identity of the fourth deceased person has not yet been clarified.

Rescue operation by police

Upon receiving information about the incident, the Madhav Nagar police station team reached the spot. The police had the chamber gate cut using a cutting machine and pulled out all four individuals after a rescue operation lasting an hour and a half.

Police personnel administered CPR for more than two minutes to try and save them, but their lives could not be saved.

Other workers affected

After the fourth person descended, a fifth sanitation worker, Hemraj, also went inside, but managed to come out somehow after feeling panicked.

Two other people who went down to rescue them fell ill and were immediately admitted to the hospital. A sub-inspector was also injured during the entire rescue operation.
