    RIP bro!

    The chances of perishing by electrocution are very high here because of shoddy work using third grade equipment! How many deaths occur due to electrocution every year is shocking!

    All deceased person's families should get together & file a class action suit against this third class power utility co. and teach them a lesson.

    In gulf I have never Heard about death due to electrocution there in gulf there are trippers installed. As soon as electrical shock observed by any human it trips immediately with out damage to anyone
    But in India I have seen humans trip off instead of electric circuit breaker
    Learn from gulf
    I worked in Oman and UAE
    We had to work outdoors when rain comes all of a sudden only we were switching off the main switch that’s all we could do
    When rain goes away again our work begins
    But no casualties I heard or seen

    @sense-Shetty- mangalore,it is not a matter of covered up by insurance,but simply negligence from workers.Some simply dont care and think they know .with electricity shouldnt play,whether one is experienced or not.sad so a young person died.In rainy season should remember tiles are wet and can transmit electricity.Heartfelt sympathy to his family.In India even officials too neglect many times their duty.

    If there is incident company has to pay lot of fines
    No way it has to trip before any casualties

    Kindly have a courtesy of giving condolence to his family and pray to God for his soul to rest in peace.

    At this moment, is it necessary to speak about countries and their good/bad works?
