A five-year-old boy died of electrocution and two minors sustained injuries after they came in contact with a live electric wire in South Delhi’s Neb Sarai, the police said on Thursday.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Atul Thakur said that the deceased and the injured boys, aged five and six respectively, are residents of a slum cluster in Khanpur.
The police said that they were playing near the slum cluster when they came in contact with the live wire on Wednesday. “The three boys were rushed to Max Hospital where the five-year-old boy was declared brought dead while the two others are undergoing treatment. They are stated to be out of danger, he said.
The election authorities are gearing up for the counting of votes cast in the simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, scheduled to be held on June 4. The Collectors and Election Officers of Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli and Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) districts said on May 23 (Thursday) that their teams were ready for the counting of votes.
Responding to the prolonged water scarcity, the residents of the area took to the streets in protest on Wednesday. The protest, which drew attention to their plight, stopped only after the intervention of the police. It was not until 1.30 p.m. that a 4000-litre tanker was finally delivered by BWSSB, providing relief to the water-starved residents.
