00:00A laborer electrocuted while walking through a water-locked road.
00:03A family of four died trying to save each other from a live wire.
00:06A devotee electrocuted after touching a water spray cooler on temple premises.
00:10In 2024 to 2025 alone, 6,620 people died in electrical incidents in India.
00:17Water-locked roads, open electrical panels, exposed wiring, sagging overhead cables,
00:22poorly maintained transformers.
00:24Across India, these are not just civic ISOs anymore.
00:27They are death traps hiding in plain sight.
00:30Because when rainwater comes in contact with a live wire, a faulty transformer or a damaged
00:34electrical panel, an entire stretch of road can turn into a live current zone.
00:39Power companies and civic agencies have repeatedly flagged the same reasons behind electrocution
00:44deaths.
00:44Illegal cable installations, unauthorized power connections, substandard wiring, overloaded
00:50systems, live wires hanging dangerously close to water-locked roads.
00:54So these deaths are not just freak accidents.
00:56They are the result of neglected infrastructure, poor maintenance and delayed action.
01:01In India, electrocution is no longer just a monsoon risk and until exposed wires, faulty
01:07panels and hazardous power equipment are fixed before the rain arrives, the next death is
01:12only a matter of time.
