Power cable submerged in rainwater kills sanitation staff
The New Indian Express
|August 24, 2025
A 30-year-old conservancy worker, the sole breadwinner of her family, died of electrocution after she accidentally stepped on a damaged electric cable at Kannagi Nagar around 4.30 am on Saturday.
The deceased, R Varalakshmi, had stepped out of her home for work when she stepped on the power line submerged in stagnant rainwater.
This is the fifth electrocution death in just seven weeks in Chennai—four of them being rain-related. Residents allege that they have raised concerns about damaged and snapped electric cables for the past few months and have submitted several complaints in the last few weeks to the electricity department, but to no avail.
