Thanks for their service, a question though since i haven't seen them in person to know their SOP. But in such circumstances do they have Handheld MultiGas Detector to quantify the amount of LEL / CO or other toxic gases that may be present inside the sewer, before they make an entry?

A very valid question, yes staff are trained to NFPA Standard 350 for confined space entry and work. The SAR( Search and Rescue) Trucks have gas detectors on board:

Rescue 1122 (Disaster Response Force) has becomes the first organisation in South Asia to gain United Nations accreditation to become an International Rescue Team. In October experts from THW Germany, UN Classifiers of Geneva and Switzerland and the United Kingdom International Search and Rescue Team (ISAR) mentored, assessed and observed the national team to international standards required for UN INSARAG: International Search and Rescue Advisory Group certification.

Representative from United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) International Search and Rescue Advisory Group (INSARAG) Secretariat Geneva, Switzerland, Winston Chang, officially announced that after clearing the classification and evaluation process, the Pakistan Rescue Team (PRT) stood tall amongst the world elite as an officially UN Certified Urban Search and Rescue Team:
