LAHORE JULY 31 (TNS): In Raiwind Monday morning, a man, woman and minor were electrocuted to death when electric current entered their house reportedly from low-lying wires.
Construction was under way at the house when the electric current entered the structure, passing through bare metallic material. Subsequently, 36-year-old Waheed, his wife 27-year-old Rizwana and two-year-old daughter died. Bodies of the deceased were shifted to the tehsil headquarters hospital in the area.
A person electrocuted by low-lying wires is a common occurrence in Pakistan. Many areas across the country are exposed to the danger that hangs above them, mostly in form of wires that are used for illegal electricity connections i.e. kunda.
Recent rains also caused deaths by electrocution as gushing wind and downpour brought exposing wires down, killing those walking on the ground covered with water.
