    Fatal incidents not only from fall from the trees in farms but also due to power wires in the farm is major cause for these fatalities. I am a farmer and in our coconut farm electric wires are installed which go to neighbouring houses interrupting with trees. When i asked in MESCOM to reinstall these wires through road they said i should bear the cost. Week ago also a young man was electrocuted due to wire touching his coconut tree while taking bondos
