Punjab: Lineman electrocuted during power line repair

Phagwara, May 8 (UNI) A lineman with the Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL)
lost his life due to electrocution while performing maintenance work in the Khassan village of Kapurthala district, police said on Thursday.
The deceased, identified as Dalvir Singh, was stationed at the Bholath powercom office and was reportedly conducting repairs when he came into contact with a live wire on Wednesday afternoon.
The electric shock was so severe that his arm sustained major burns from the elbow downward. Singh remained perched on the electric pole following the incident, and tragically succumbed to his injuries.
Singh, a resident of Issar Buche village, was due to retire next year, according to police sources. UNI GS XC SSP
