A construction worker died after falling into a pit in the Hargobind Nagar area near Civil City here today.
Pashori Lal, a resident, said he had hired two labourers to dig a pit near his house for laying a private sewerage. The incident took place at around 4 pm when the labourers dug a 9-ft-deep pit.
Since the area around the pit was damp due to a leak in a sewer, it led
to the caving-in of the surface.
