One sibling was electrocuted; another is receiving medical attention in Shopian

A sibling was killed and another is in critical condition after an electrocution incident on August 28 in Babapora village, Zainapora Sub Division, Shopian district, South Kashmir.

Mashooq Ahmad Hajam and Irfan Ahmad Hajam were both hurt while working on an electric pole in Babapora Zainapora to fix some cables.

The authorities acted quickly, and they were taken to a neighbouring hospital for treatment.

The severity of Mashooq Ahmad Hajam’s wounds proved too much for him, and he passed away while still in the hospital. Irfan Ahmad Hajam, though, is in a better position, according to reports.
