Overview
- Police said a child slipped into a rain-filled excavation at the kiln, two cousins jumped in to help, and a fourth child ran for help as the three drowned.
- The victims were identified as Abhay, 3, Ananya, 7, and Anushka, 3, children of migrant labourers from Chhattisgarh who were living on the worksite.
- Relatives pulled the children from the pit and took them to the Community Health Centre in Kasya, where doctors declared them dead and ordered post-mortems.
- District magistrate Mahendra Singh Tanwar announced ₹4 lakh in relief for each bereaved family.
- A five-member committee has three working days to report on permits and safety, while police examine whether the soil pit was left unguarded, a known risk when rain fills brick-making excavations near where families stay.
