Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has announced financial assistance of Rs 4 lakh for the families of the deceased.
Four people died of suspected suffocation after getting trapped in a waste chamber at Shri Ganga Hotel in Madhya Pradesh's Ujjain district on Saturday night, according to The New Indian Express and ThePrint.
The incident occurred around 11 pm on the Ujjain-Dewas Road. Ujjain Superintendent of Police Pradeep Sharma said the workers entered the chamber to clean it but were unable to exit.
Police personnel pulled the four individuals out and performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation, but they could not be revived. Doctors at a hospital subsequently declared them dead.
The deceased have been identified as Kamlesh Tamboli, Nitin Valmik, Manoj Meena, and Wahid. Their bodies have been sent for post-mortem examination.
Two other people who entered the chamber to attempt a rescue fell ill and were hospitalised. They have since been discharged, according to police reports.
Ujjain District Magistrate Roshan Kumar Singh stated that an inquiry will determine if the workers entered the chamber for cleaning purposes or if they fell in by accident. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav expressed grief and directed the state government to provide Rs 4 lakh to the families of the deceased.
