Delhi Govt   On 28 June, three workers died in a drain while working on an interceptor sewage project of the Delhi Jal Board, in West Delhi.

At the event, Arvind Kejriwal, the chief minister of Delhi who is also the chairperson of the DJB, announced that the government would provide safety gears to sewer cleaners.
