It has been gathered that the water pipeline connecting Pandeshwar and Wenlock Hospital burst during the drainage works resulting  in a sudden gush of water  as well as mud. Both the labourers were buried in the slush. Efforts to rescue them by the fire service and police personnel went in vain. The bodies were later retrieved from the slush.
