Noida farmer electrocuted, FIR against discom officials for negligence
Noida: An FIR was registered against officials of the power department, including the executive engineer and subdivisional officer, after a 38-year-old farmer died of electrocution while two of his daughters suffered grievous injuries trying to save him in Maicha Ki Madheya village on Tuesday. Satish was spraying fertiliser on crops when 11,000 volts allegedly leaked into the water in his field from a transformer that was installed by the electricity department despite objections from the family. While Satish, who touched an iron fence partially submerged in water, died before he could be wheeled into a hospital, his daughters were grievously injured as they rushed to save him. A police complaint was lodged by Kamlesh — a relative — seeking action against the executive engineer, SDO, and other officials at Mandi Shyam Nagar electricity station, which was responsible for maintaining the transformer.

A case was registered at Dankaur police station against the power department officials under sections 106(1) (causing death by negligence) and 125(b) (acts endangering life or personal safety of others) of BNS. Kamlesh, who was at work, said the incident occurred around 2pm on Tuesday when Satish touched an iron fence connected to the earthing cable of the high-tension line, which passes over the field. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like One of the Most Successful Investors of All Time, Warren Buffett, Recommends: 5 Books for Turning...

His two daughters were also injured when they rushed to save him. While Satish died on the spot, the others regained consciousness after 10-15 minutes," he said. The tragedy has hit hard the family of 22 members, for whom Satish was the primary breadwinner. He is survived by four children — three daughters and a 14-year-old son. "Two of his injured daughters were to be married in Nov, and Satish wanted to get them married off lavishly," Kamlesh said. He alleged that though officials from various authorities visited the family after Satish's death, no one from the electricity department showed up "even for courtesy". However, Sanjay Kumar Jain — chief engineer at PVVNL — claimed departmental officers responded immediately with relief and safety measures. He referred to preliminary investigation findings, claiming that electricity flowed through the iron fence as it was tied to a wire connected to the transformer. "As of now, there is no direct evidence of any negligence by the officials. The department is treating the incident with utmost seriousness to ensure impartiality and transparency in the investigation," Jain said, adding that the electrical safety directorate is conducting a technical investigation on its part. "Only after their report will any accountability be determined and strict departmental action, if required, be taken," he added. Satish's family has demanded immediate removal of the transformer and strict action against department officials to prevent similar incidents in the future.

27 lakh power sector employees to hold nationwide strike on 9 July over UP govt's move to privatise two discoms
More than 27 lakh power sector employees will observe a day-long nationwide strike on 9 July in protest against the Uttar Pradesh government's decision to privatise two discoms in the state. Shailendra Dubey, chairman of the All India Power Engineers' Federation (AIPEF), said on Wednesday that the state government has decided to privatise Purvanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Ltd (PVVNL) and Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Ltd (DVVNL), which cover 42 of the state's 75 districts. "On the call of the umbrella body, National Coordination Committee of Electricity Employees and Engineers (NCCOEEE), power employees, junior engineers, and engineers across the country have staged massive demonstrations against the privatisation of the discoms," he said. Dubey added that the umbrella body has now called for a massive protest on July 9 by 27 lakh power employees opposing the privatisation of the two UP discoms. Demonstrations will mainly be held in Hyderabad, Thiruvananthapuram, Vijayawada, Chennai, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Nagpur, Raipur, Bhopal, Jabalpur, Vadodara, Rajkot, Guwahati, Shillong, Kolkata, Bhubaneswar, Patna, Ranchi, Srinagar, Jammu, Shimla, Dehradun, Patiala, Jaipur, Kota, Hisar, and Lucknow. The strike on such a large scale may also affect the power supply across the country. "We will not be responsible if power supply is affected," Dubey warned. The power sector employees' union alleged that the Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Ltd and certain senior state government officials are colluding with selected private players. They accused them of attempting to sell discom assets worth crores of rupees to private companies at throwaway prices. The AIPEF chairman said that if the discoms are privatised, farmers and economically weaker sections will be deprived of several benefits. Earlier in June, the Uttar Pradesh government invoked provisions of the Uttar Pradesh Essential Services Maintenance Act, 1966 (U.P. ESMA), prohibiting strikes in the electricity department for a period of six months. A notification to this effect was issued by the government. According to the notification, the strike ban covers all services under the following entities: Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Ltd. (UPPCL); Uttar Pradesh Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Ltd. (UPRVUNL); Uttar Pradesh Power Transmission Corporation Ltd. (UPPTCL); Kanpur Electricity Supply Company Ltd. (KESCO); Madhyanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Ltd. (MVVNL); Purvanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Ltd. (PuVVNL); Paschimanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Ltd. (PVVNL); Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Ltd. (DVVNL); UP Renewable and EV Infrastructure Ltd. The press release noted that the decision was taken to ensure an uninterrupted power supply and prevent any disruption in essential electricity-related services across the state.
