THANE, July 29 -- A young boy lost his life due to what locals allege was the negligence of the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL). While trying to protect his home from rainwater leaking through the roof, 17-year-old Ayush Roy came into contact with a live wire and was electrocuted. The police said the incident took place on Monday in the Punjabi Colony of Shastri Nagar, near Ulhasnagar Camp No.2. Roy had climbed onto the roof with his father to place plastic sheets to prevent rain from leaking into their home. Roy received a powerful electric shock when he came into contact with an exposed electric wire. He collapsed and was immediately rushed to the Central Hospital, where doctors declared him dead on arrival. Residents voiced their anger against MSEDCL, alleging that the company had ignored complaints about exposed wires. A crowd of residents outside Roy's house demanded criminal charges against the responsible officials. MSEDCL has not issued a public statement but an official said that an internal inquiry has been initiated.HTC...
