Two technicians engaged in repair work on an 11KV transmission line at Chabua air force station in Assam’s Dibrugarh were electrocuted Sunday. Deceased Sujoy Munda (35) and Probin Urang (37) were casual employees of Kavita Electronics , a private electrical company. Police said circumstances leading to the deaths are unclear as nobody witnessed the accident. Workers, however, reported hearing a loud sound before rushing to find the duo lying unconscious on the ground, their clothes torn and burnt. Sujoy was pronounced dead at the spot, while Probin was rushed to Tata’s Referral Hospital and Research Centre in Chabua in critical condition. Despite medical efforts, Probin succumbed Monday. The bodies were transferred to Assam Medical College and Hospital for postmortem, and the report is awaited. Their families alleged negligence on part of Kavita Electronics, claiming that the duo wasn’t provided with essential safety equipment. They demanded an investigation and sought compensation of Rs 30 lakh each.
