At least three contract labourers were crushed to death and six others are feared injured when a large water tank collapsed at a public toilet in Sadguru Nagar, Bhosari, on Thursday morning, officials reported.

The incident occurred around 7:30 a.m. as local workers were engaged in their morning routines, including bathing and washing clothes, in the toilet complex. Witnesses stated that approximately a dozen workers were taking baths near the taps when the tank suddenly gave way, crashing down into the facility and causing multiple casualties.

Eyewitnesses provided rescuers with information on where workers were last seen, guiding efforts to locate individuals buried under the rubble.
