Officials informed that fire service personnel rushed to the spot immediately after receiving information and rescued the two victims, who were taken to South Tripura District Hospital at Santirbazar.
Hospital sources confirmed that Gouranga Debnath (40), a resident of RK Ganj was declared dead on arrival. The other victim Admit Bhowmik (20) of Betaga sustained severe injuries and was later referred to GBP Hospital in Agartala for advanced treatment.
