Tragic Power Line Incident: Lineman Electrocuted

A tragic incident struck in Khejuri, where a 33-year-old lineman lost his life due to electrocution during a power line repair. The mishap occurred at the Ratsar power substation when the electricity supply was unexpectedly resumed while Hriday Narayan Yadav was repairing a fault.
