PUNE: A boy, 15, suffering 40% burn injuries due to electric current at Wadgaon Sheri Monday afternoon has once again brought to the fore the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited’s (MSEDCL’s) failure at preventing incidents of electrocution.
In the latest incident which occurred Monday afternoon near the Anand Park bus stop at Wadgaon Sheri, Ankur Khandu Bansode, 15, a resident of Ganeshnagar, had to be admitted to Sassoon Hospital with severe burn injuries on his back and legs. It may be noted that this is the third such incident in the last four months with electrocution having claimed at least two lives thus far.
In February this year, a multi-axle truck driver, 38, was electrocuted after coming into contact with an electric feeder of MSEDCL in 9 BRD (Base Repair Depot) area on Ahmednagar Road.
