Officials stated a local resident's generator may have backed the line despite the feeder being shut down. Union representatives alleged the worker was not using safety gear and supervisors failed to enforce safety measures, contributing to the severity of the incident. This marks the fifth electrocution involving PSPCL workers in Ludhiana in six months, raising concerns about safety protocol enforcement.
