Magisterial probe finds faulty earthing led to electrocution at U’khand STP
A magisterial probe into the recent electrocution incident at a Namami Gange sewage treatment plant in Uttarakhand’s Chamoli, which claimed 16 lives, has attributed it to faulty earthing at the STP.
The report of the probe, which was carried out by Chamoli Additional District Magistrate Abhishek Tripathi, was submitted to the state government on Saturday.
The report accused the joint venture companies responsible for the electrification system at the STP of violating terms of their contract and safety norms. It recommended cancelling their contracts and blacklisting them in Uttarakhand.
