A electrician was killed by electric shock while working inside the sump of ETA apartment on Magadi Road on Tuesday.
The deceased Mohan Kumar, 30, was an employee of Target Manpower Solutions, which had taken the contract for all the utilities of the apartment. The incident occurred in the afternoon when Mohan, along with his colleagues went to check the leakage in the sump. He got in and asked for light since it was dark. The light was connected from outside and sent down. While he was checking the leakage, he touched the live wire and was electrocuted. When there was no response, his colleagues peeped in to saw him lying inside the sump. He was pulled up and rushed to a private hospital, where the doctors declared him brought dead.
With the clock ticking down to the Lok Sabha election counting day on Tuesday, opposing fronts are perceptibly edgy and poised to continue the rancorous skirmishing that marked the campaign season in Kerala. The United Democratic Front, led by the Congress, is seemingly basking in the “interim victory” granted by various exit polls. The UDF discerns that its poll strategy of turning the polls foremostly into a damning referendum on the Left Democratic Front government’s perceived failures rather than BJP’s “divisive politics” at the national level stood a fighting chance of paying off.
