Mangaluru, Feb 23: In a tragic incident, a youth who was joyfully preparing to open a new garment shop died after suffering an electric shock inside the same shop in the heart of Thokkottu.

The deceased has been identified as Salman Farish (20), a native of Pajiru Bengodi Padavu and a resident of Pandeshwar, Mangaluru.

 

A new garment shop owned by Salman Farish at Smart City Commercial Complex in Thokkottu was scheduled to be inaugurated this Friday, and interior design work of the new shop was in progress. Even on Sunday night, electrical work was being carried out inside the shop at a brisk pace.

At around 1.30 am on Sunday midnight, Salman suffered an electric shock. Workers present inside the shop immediately rushed him in an auto-rickshaw to a private hospital in Deralakatte, but it is learnt that Salman died on the way to the hospital.

Ullal police visited the spot and conducted an inspection.

    Snagging inspections should be conducted for all electrical work to ensure safety, quality, and compliance. There are several professional companies specialized in carrying out thorough snag inspections to identify electrical faults or potential issues early, helping prevent future risks. My sincere condolences to the loved ones affected.

    By law electric power is through a safety device called ELCB OR RCCD. This device gives 100 💯 percent protection to any one contacting a live electric wire. This device is not expensive. The electricity supply company checks and confirms this is installed then electricity is connected. We being children of lesser God's have the Chalta Hai attitude. Little value for human life. RIP Dear Condolences to loved ones and family.
