A worker, K. Kaliraj, 27, of Namaskarithanpatti was killed and two others, V. Murugesan, 29, and P. Mutheeswaran, 30, both from of M. Pudupatti, sustained bleeding injuries as a concrete electric pole fell down when they were working to provide overhead cable connection at Tiruthangal on Saturday.
The police said the new concrete pole had broken a few inches above the ground level when Kaliraj and Murugesan were atop it. As both the workers had fastened themselves to the pole with ropes to fix electrical fittings, they could not escape when the pole came crashing down.
