  Date : 21-06-2025

Two workers were electrocuted and five more injured while installing new utility pole for Palli Bidyut in Raipura upazila of Narsingdi district on Tuesday.

The deceased were identified as Abdus Salam, 29, from Dangapara of Dinajpur, and Jamal Hossain, 50, from Mithapukur of Rangpur district.

The injured are Jewel, 26, Ahad Mia, 41, Yusuf Ali, 19, Kaiyum, 18, and Kayes. All of them were employed by contractor Sujan Mia.

It was learned that a group of seven electricians working under Sujan Mia was replacing wooden poles with cement ones in Ashrabpur area on Tuesday afternoon.


After installing the new poles, the power line was reconnected. However, the workers were electrocuted through an earthing line via water at the base of the poles, resulting in two deaths and five injuries.

The injured were initially treated at the Upazila Health Complex and later transferred to Narsingdi Sadar Hospital for further treatment.

Rezaul Karim, Deputy General Manager (DGM) of Raipura Palli Bidyut, said the incident occurred due to negligence of the contractor. "We have received reports that two of the contractor`s workers died and several others were injured due to electrocution."

Raipura Police Station officer-in-charge Safayet Hossain Palash confirmed the deaths, saying that the bodies were sent to Narsingdi Sadar Hospital morgue for autopsies.
