Recent death of eight-year-old girl in Rasta Peth exposes public safety failure
PUNE: Over the last year, according to data shared by the power department of Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC), nine people died in electrocution incidents in the city, triggering widespread concern and public outrage.
In the latest incident, which occurred near Inamdar Chowk on June 2, an eight-year-old girl was killed after she reportedly came in contact with a hoarding illegally connected to a PMC-maintained streetlight pole.
The hoarding was allegedly linked to a political party and had an unauthorized electricity connection, according to civic officials.
