Two Indian workers killed in Singapore

Singapore: Two Indians working below a ship’s deck were killed in what Singapore officials believe to be a case of gas poisoning, news reports said on Thursday. Five other workers were hospitalised and were said to be in a stable condition. All seven working below the deck of the Pacific Ataawhai in a Singapore dry dock on Wednesday found themselves gasping for breath, The Straits Times said.

It was the second shipyard tragedy in less than a month. — DPA
