How many more deaths Mr. Chief Electrical Engineer? No, I will not ask the same question to Power Minister or the Chief Minister as for them such deaths are minor issues as they feel things can be patched up after compensating the Family by a meagre amount of Rs. 2 lakhs per death.
But this death by electrocution is very serious issue. Gross negligence on the part of Power Dept Staff noted. When the villagers saw the snapped wire, they immediately reported at the local section office by logging on the complaint book. Despite reporting, the electricity Dept. failed to switch off the power leaving there for two days thus causing death of an innocent young Arjun of Dhaukond Dharbandora on 8th May 2011 Power Minister, Chief Electrical Enginneer,AE, JE, Linesmen etc have serious explanation to give in this incident as to why the power was not switched off for 2days? What more? They were quick enough to join the snapped wire (not even replace by new one). Worst part of it is 'No guard loops' provided throughout the section even after 11 days from the incident. As if the Dept playing with the lives of the people (pl see various pics and Video here). No employer's visit to the household (Father working for Salgaocars mines as watchman) No MP or MLA's Visit (MLA Salgaokar), No Power minister nor Chief minister visited No Chief Electrical Engineer nor AE or JE or linesman visited No Patrakar or Media people visited No financial Help received from anyone Young Arjun was the only child. (An ITI Student) What the parents must be going through? As for me, I have personally seen the mother sitting in one corner and will not move or talk God, Give courage to them to bear the loss. Arjun was happy go lucky as any young boy of his age. His father gave him new bike, just a month ago. Electricity Dept, needed to be taken to the court. More and more cases of negligence reported. Note: JoeGoaUk wishes to contribute upto Rs.10k if anyone or any Lawyer takes up this criminal case against Power Dept. They can’t get away all the time.

As we were firsttimers, we took the wrong route i.e. Usagao Heavy mining trucks route which delayed our visit by half a hour.
