Very untimely death. May the departed soul rest in peace. Requesting concerne6 MESCOM authorities to fix up safety guards on all electric poles to ensure electricity is passing through a proper channel.Very many times we come across news of a person got electrocuted after coming in contact with live wires.Many people might have survived the accident but have lost either of their body parts due to negligence of MESCOM in maintaining the electricity. May God grant solace and grace to the bereaved family members.

First aid treatment is the most important thing in electrical shock, we should keep the legs elevated, so that blood reaches the main area. First aid treatment should be part of secondary education, we can save lives.

People are less aware of the safety which is another issue in India !! People expose their life to the dangerous situation as they less aware of the safety at work! You just analyse the situation in a CAR REPAIR SHOP you will get the exact idea which is happening every corner in INDIA but no one give the damn for that....

For the general safety matter at work or general hygiene at public place we are far behind at least of 100 years back.
