Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Three labourers working on the Omkareshwar-Mortakka road construction project drowned in the Kothi Helipad canal in Omkareshwar. Authorities recovered all three bodies and confirmed their deaths.

According to police, dumper driver Ramcharan (53), a resident of Kherda in Khargone district, filed a report at Mandhata Police Station. He told police that fellow workers Sunil Sahu, Bhagwandas Sahu and Aniket Yadav had gone to bathe in the canal on Wednesday evening but did not return to their camp.
