Jaipur, July 24 -- A truck carrying Kanwariyas came in contact with a hanging electric wire in Alwar district on Wednesday, leaving two dead and 30 others injured, police said. Police said that the incident took place when a group of Kanwariyas (devotees of Lord Shiva) and some locals were performing a "parikrama" (circumambulation) around the village. A DJ truck in the group came in contact with a hanging electric wire due to which the pilgrims were electrocuted. "Two people died and around 30 are injured," the police said, adding that three of the injured are in critical condition. The deceased were identified as Gopal (22) and Suresh Prajapat (40), both residents of Beechganwa. After the parikrama, the group was to head towards a temple. A video of the incident also surfaced on social media, showing devotees dancing before several of them, walking close to the truck, suddenly collapsed on ground. Due to the spread of electric current, several people, including women, were caught in the electrocution within seconds and fell, police said. After the incident, locals blocked Laxmangarh-Mundawar road in protest of hanging wires and said several complaint have previously been given to authorities but no action was taken. "Despite several warnings, the electricity department took no corrective action," a villager said. However, Laxmangarh tehsildar Mamta Kumari said she was not aware of the complaint. The protest, which lasted for nearly five hours, ended after a consensus was reached between the villagers and the local administration. The administration assured the villagers of proper medical care for the injured and promised a detailed investigation into the cause of the incident. According to an official order, the Junior Engineer (JEN) and lineman involved in the incident has been suspended and an FIR has been registered in the matter on the basis of complaint filed by the deceased's family. "The family will receive Rs.5 lakh as compensation from the electricity department and an additional Rs.5 lakh under a government scheme. Apart from this, efforts will be made to provide benefits of various government schemes, including the Palanhar Yojana, to the deceased's family," an official said. Forest minister and Alwar city MLA Sanjay Sharma visited the victims and enquired about their condition in the Alwar government hospital....
