    Unfortunately high power cables in our country do not have insulation while passing over houses and residential areas. Very sad state of affairs.

    This incident is totally negligence of concerned electricity board and its work force which responsible for the death of the victims. As per the weather conditions so also its a overhead line hence proper safety devices such as accurate capacity of fuse/ circuit breaker has not been installed if it was installed the death would not happened.

    Sad to hear such incidents where poor ones are suffering or die.Heartfelt sympathy to the rest family.May their souls rest in peace.Govt.has no interest to safeguard people from such things.Wish they could take some interest to avoid of falling down such cables or cut down some tree braches which may be passing through live trees.

    In a place claiming to be one of the most technologically advanced, it's surprising that the power utility companies do not have the prowess to provide a mechanism wherein the power supply automatically trips off and sends a signal to the control room? Almost everyday some innocent people or animals fall prey to these live HT cables! Many a times, workers come in contact with live wires passing at low heights through coffee, areca estates while plucking! Also no worker is provided with basic safety accessories like gloves, gumboots, insulated ladders etc! Is all this progression or regression towards stone age?
