An unidentified labourer (30) died on Tuesday after falling into a manhole on the premises of Royal Function Hall at Lakdikapool. The victim was engaged by the function hall owner to clean the manholes, Central Zone DCP N. Madhusudhan Reddy said.

The victim first cleaned two manholes and around 4.30 p.m. entered inside the third one.
