KRISHNAGIRI — Three contract workers died after allegedly inhaling toxic gas while carrying out maintenance work at a Tata Electronics facility near Uddanapalli in Tamil Nadu’s Krishnagiri district on Monday evening.
The workers were cleaning and inspecting a nano-filtration feed tank at the plant, which manufactures components for Apple iPhones. According to the district administration, one worker collapsed after looking inside the tank. Two others entered in an attempt to help him and also lost consciousness. A fourth member of the team raised the alarm.
All three workers were rescued and taken to a private hospital in Hosur, where they were declared dead. The district administration said the work was being carried out without adequate safety measures and that an inquiry was under way. Police said the suspected cause was toxic gas inhalation, but the final cause of death will be confirmed after post-mortem examinations.
The workers were employed by a contractor engaged in maintenance work at the facility. The incident has raised fresh concerns about safety procedures during work inside industrial tanks and confined spaces.
