Two people have died apparently of asphyxiation while cleaning a well in Tulsipur of Dang district on Wednesday morning.
The deceased have been identified as Mukesh BK, 16, and Yam Bahadur Nepali, 38, of Tulsipur Sub Metropolitan City-13, Damar village, informed DSP Ram Prasad Timalsina, spokesperson of the District Police Office, Dang.
They had gone down into the well belonging to Durga BK, a local.
