MUMBAI, May 31 -- A 28-year-old employee of the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) died while three others were severely injured after they were electrocuted while repairing a transformer at Arnala in Virar West on Friday. This was the third incident of a death caused by electrocution in the Vasai-Virar region in the last six days. The deceased, Jayesh Gharat, was a resident of the Jambhulpada area near Navapur in Arnala. He is survived by his parents and two siblings. In a statement issued on Friday evening, MSEDCL confirmed the incident, saying it occurred while senior technician Nitin Salvi, electrical assistant Pawan Ingle, and external sources employee Jayesh Gharat were inspecting a 22KV power line that had tripped. "...while removing the safety cradle stuck on the DP structure on the line, Jayesh Gharat met with a fatal accident," the statement said. A DP or double pole refers to a steel structure used to support high-voltage electrical equipment such as transformers. The three injured employees were immediately admitted to a hospital for treatment. The police said they reached the spot as soon as they came to know about the incident and brought Gharat's body, which was hanging off a ladder, down with the help of the fire brigade. John Perera, president of the Electricity Consumers Association, said that none of the four MSEDCL employees were wearing any gloves or other safety gear while repairing the transformer. He added that the frequent cases of electrocution were occurring due to the negligence of MSEDCL and the state government. "Not taking safety precautions and not maintaining the electrical wiring are the main causes of electrocution," he said. "The lack of safety equipment for [MSEDCL] employees and the lack of proper communication after the power supply is disrupted are causes for concern." MSEDCL did not specify whether Gharat and the three injured people were wearing any safety gear. The police have not booked anyone yet, but are investigating. For now, an accidental death report has been registered, an officer said....
