BSF CONSTABLE ELECTROCUTED

Underground all electric wires crossing international border fence: BSF

 The Border Security Force (BSF) has asked the electricity department to underground all the high tension overhead electric wires crossing the International Border fence, following electrocution of a BSF constable. 

Two more BSF constables had sustained injuries in the incident on Wednesday.

The BSF inspector general (frontier) Aditya Mishra told TOI on Wednesday that a BSF constable of 45 battalion Ramwshwar Kushwaha was electrocuted after a loose high tension electric wire touched the telephone cable of the BSF while he was passing on the message to his colleague.

He said such loose wires pose high risk of electrifying of border fence, so they have asked the electricity department to underground all such electric cables.

Giving details of the incident the BSF deputy inspector general RS Jaswal informed that the BSF had lodged a complaint with the electricity department about a loose high tension wire in the area of border out post Dal near Khalra, which was connected to a tubewell on the land of sarpanch of the village Dal, Paramjit Singh.

The electricity department disconnected the tubewell, but according to reports, Paramjit deliberately connected the wires to run his tubewell. At the same time Khushwaha was talking to his colleague over phone and was electrocuted after the electricity wire touched the telephone cable, said Jaswal.

The sub inspector of the Khalra police station Kuljit Singh informed that they had registered a case under Section 304A IPC against Paramjit Singh. He said Paramjit was absconding.

Meanwhile, the IG informed that they would hold a Director General level meeting with the Pakistani Rangers in near future to discuss border issues.

 A delegation of Pak Rangers would arrive in India to participate in the meeting scheduled to be held in Delhi.
