Man Dies from Electrocution Amid Exposed Wires and Waterlogging in Nayagaon
A 48-year-old man, Mewa Lal, died from electrocution in Nayagaon's Safeda Colony after contacting an exposed wire near waterlogged streets early Friday. Residents highlighted ongoing risks from exposed cables, illegal connections, and poor infrastructure despite recent warnings from the Punjab and Haryana High Court. Officials noted the wire was illegally connected from a nearby meter and had damaged insulation, causing current leakage. Authorities have lodged a police complaint and are investigating the incident amid local criticism of power supply management.
