    What's the story

    Five people, including a woman, died of asphyxiation and another fell unconscious after entering an under-construction septic tank at a village in Odisha's Rayagada district.

    Tragedy struck Durgi village in Rayagada when the woman worker, who had entered the tank, was trapped inside and all five men ventured into it one by one in a vain bid to rescue her, police said.
