Two Workers Electrocuted During Repair in Bokakhat

Two temporary workers, Bijoy Soren and Amit Chaotal, were critically injured after being electrocuted and falling 30 feet while repairing a live power line at Kuruwabahi on October 27. Allegations suggest they were sent without safety gear and the line remained active. Adivasi groups protested at the Bokakhat Electricity Office, demanding action against contractor Jayanta Khound, compensation, salary support for families, better treatment facilities, and a full investigation.
