    What is the use of CircuitBreakers installed in HT supply. The correct technical way is whenever HT line cuts off and touches ground the supply should automatically cut off
    Even in household supply system also such provision is there. Due to lack of supervision /bribe such system is not followed
    RIP Ashok

    The concerned mescom officials should be bought to account.A case has to be filed against them.

    Why should innocent people die for someone elses negligence.

    Trust me all this happens in india because we take it like just another inicdent.

    There is no point in seeking monetary compensation.

    Life should be compensated with life unless the family members are ready to forgive ,only then criminals will be serious abt law.

    RIP bro. If a power cable snaps, the system should automatically cut off power supply!? Are our Engineer's tampering with the system?? When will we wake up? ??

    While this could be a case of natures fury in the snapping of the live high tension wire it does not absolve the Electricity board to pay compensation to the young man's family. Without delay the MESCOM should pay the compensation please.

    STILL WE ARE LIVING IN 18TH CENTURY... WE HAVE MONEY TO CONTRIBUTE TO OTHER STATES BUT WE HAVE NO MONEY TO SPEND FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR STATE...
    COME AND SEE IN KUWAIT OR ANY OTHER GULF. THEY GIVE SAFETY MORE IMPORTENCE!!!
