Port Blair, Dec 24: A couple of years back Andaman Sheekha had pointed out that Dozens of Electric Poles along Andaman Trunk Road are in pathetic condition and may collapse any day but Administration did not pay any heed. Today Middle Andaman Residents’ worst nightmare came true when one person died at Middle Andaman due to this weak and damaged electric Pole.
Today two labourers of Electricity Department, Mr. Agustin Dung Dung, 48 years and Mr. Ganesh Halder, 52 years were asked to climb a electric pole at Nibudera Bazaar to find some fault but when they climbed half of the electric Pole, the pole collapsed. Mr. Agustin Dung Dung died on the spot while Mr. Ganesh Halder sustained minor injuries.
The Administration must consider this death as Murder as it happened due to gross negligence of Electricity Department, despite of the fact that Andaman Sheekha had reported about this incident again and again.
