Sunday, 14 August 2022 | Staff Reporter | KOREA

A 36-year-old contract labourer with local civic body was electrocuted on Saturday in Chhattisgarh’s Korea district while putting up the national flag, a police official said.

The incident took place at the Pratiksha bus stand when Suman Tigga was erecting the flag on a mast along with another labourer, said Manendragarh Sub Divisional Officer of Police Rakesh Kurre.

The co-worker, Ramkripal Singh (35),          suffered injuries and is         hospitalised. A group of labourers protested against the death of Tigga.

The situation was brought under control after Rs 1 lakh was paid as               compensation to the deceased’s kin, the officer said.
