Narsinghpur (Madhya Pradesh): An outsource employee in Madhya Pradesh’s power department died of electrocution while fixing a 11000 kilovolt line in Narsinghpur on Wednesday evening. Owing to the power department’s negligence, the employee’s body remained hanging from the pole for hours before the locals rushed to take it down.
The matter pertains to Karakbel village of Gotegaon tehsil in Narsinghpur, where Revaram Kushwaha climbed up an electricity pole to fix a power supply line. Despite power supply being stalled while outsource employee Revaram was repairing the line, current flew through the cable killing him on spot.
Confirming the incident, Narsingpur Section Engineer(SE) Rameshchandra Sahu said that investigation is on in the matter.
