Three labourers died after inhaling toxic fumes from a septic tank at Jenney Club in Peelamedu on Tuesday.
Police said the labourers were cleaning the clogged septic tank, and had lowered a machine into the 10ft-deep tank to suck out the sludge. R Ashok, 20, got into the tank to retrieve the equipment and was overcome by the toxic fumes.
Seeing him struggle, A Karthik, 21, and K Anandan, 24, jumped in to rescue him. They too inhaled the fumes and died of asphyxiation.Two contractors who hired the workers and an assistant engineer attached to Jenney Club were arrested on charges of causing death by negligence. "It is a case of negligence on the part of the contractor and the club," said corporation commissioner Ansul Mishra.
Fire and rescue service personnel retrieved the bodies of the three. Relatives of the deceased blocked Tiruchi Road near Coimbatore Medical College Hospital, where the bodies were taken for postmortem.

Tiruppur in Deep trouble
Business activity in the knitwear town of Tirupur came to a standstill as units stopped operations on Tuesday in a dawn-to-dusk shutdown to highlight the plight of the industry following the Madras high court directive to close the polluting dyeing units.
The strike was organised by all the major trade unions in Tirupur including AITUC and INTUC to draw the attention of the central and state governments to the crisis faced by the garment knitwear industry.
Tirupur, which exports garments worth about `10,000 crore a year and employs nearly 4 lakh workers, is home to close to 5,000 units. Business to the tune of about `45 crore was affected.
Dyeing units in Tirupur process about 4 lakh kgs of fabric a day while bleaching units take up to 1 lakh kg. With large sections of the industry stating that zero liquid discharge (ZLD) is virtually impossible, the focus has now shifted to other options including taking up marine discharge, which has not much moved beyond discussions.
However, a section of the industry believes that the government should collect the wastewater and treat it for which charges can be levied. This is being done in Surat and can be replicated here as well, industry sources said.
"ZLD is not feasible. Marine discharge could also throw up litigation. We can maintain total dissolved solid (TDS) below 2,100 levels. This can be an interim solution," they said.

Young Couple murdered in Coimbatore
In a brutal double murder in Coimbatore outskirts, a power loom owner and his wife were clubbed and stabbed to death by two labourers in their loom at Somanur on Saturday night.
The young couple, P Shanmugham (35) and S Manomani (30), were found lying in a pool of blood with head and chest wounds at their weaving unit on Sunday morning. The ghastly murder came to light when the couple's three-year-old son Abhirami was found wailing outside their farm house. They have a seven-month-old child, too, Kavindran.
In the power loom hub of Somanur, Shanmugham was operating about 12 looms in a weaving unit adjoining his sprawling farm house. On Sunday night, two workers on night shift rang the door bell of his house and called him to the weaving unit to fix a repair in the loom. According to the police, an unsuspecting Shanmugham went to the loom where he was clobbered with iron rods and stabbed with a sickle.
As Shanmugham did not return home for a long time, his wife went to the weaving unit and met with the same tragic fate. She too was attacked with iron rods and sickle. However, the identity of the two workes is not known as they had been hired only 10 days ago.
While the local weavers worked during the day shift, workers from southern Tamil Nadu or north India were engaged to do the night shifts, police said. Often, the local power loom owners hire people who arrived by night trains from various parts of Tamil Nadu and north India to Tirupur to work at their looms without checking their backgrounds. The acute labour shortage in the textile belt forced the power loom operators to hire complete strangers. Such hasty hiring has cost the lives of Shanmugham and his wife and orphaned their children.
"The workers who are in need of a job wait at Somanur railway gate at nights. The owners of the power looms would hire them without any enquiry. Shanmugam had hired two workers from the Somanur railway gate for his power looms only 10 days ago," said ADSP M Annadurai.

Siruvani Dam falls short of its Full Capacity.
Now, hopes of the North-East Monsoon filling up Siruvani Dam are as good as dashed. The water level in the dam is 10 ft short of the full reservoir level of nearly 50 ft. And, there has been no rain over the last three days in the catchment.
Figures provided by the Coimbatore Corporation point out that the highest rainfall during November is 40 mm. The first week of this month has provided scanty rainfall, the maximum being 25 mm on December 3.
Very reluctantly, water supply officials say that the dam may not fill up this time even though water is still flowing into the dam from the upper reaches of the Siruvani hills. The supply situation in one half of the 105 sq.km. city and some municipalities and town panchayats may become tight during summer as the water level will only dip as soon as the inflow stops.
Officials are, however, hopeful of the Coimbatore Corporation completing the Pilloor Phase II water scheme for the city and some eastern suburbs. The Corporation had announced that the scheme will be completed and supply will begin by March 31 next year.
If that deadline is not met, the impact will be felt in the city. An official feels that it may lead to rescheduling of supply in the city to once in four days. But, he says that the Corporation's focus now is on completing the scheme by March 31, as it is aware of the risks on the Siruvani scheme front.
Water supply officials also seek to draw comfort from the Bhavani scheme implemented for Kavundampalayam Municipality and Vadavalli Town Panchayat, suburbs west of the city. But, there are already protests from the people in these areas over the quality of water being supplied under this scheme.
The residents complain that Bhavani water is not provided on alternate days despite a promise by the local bodies. They, therefore, want an increase in the supply of Siruvani water. If this demand continues during summer all the local bodies need Siruvani water will run into scarcity.

He will also launch works for establishing a botanical garden on 165 acres at Gandhipuram, which is now part of the Coimbatore Central Prison premises. The park would be created on an outlay of Rs.100 crore in phases.
