Digital Desk: A 10-year-old boy tragically died from electrocution after touching a high-voltage line at Kaliabor in Assam's Nagaon district.
The kid who died, Sudarshan Bhuyan, was playing with friends close to his home when he came into contact with an exposed high-powered line and was electrocuted.
His friends quickly alerted the elders, who quickly showed up and hurried Sudarshan to the hospital. However, sources said that he was pronounced dead when he arrived.
It is to be noted that in another recent incident, a young person allegedly died from electrocution at Palashbari, which is part of Assam's Kamrup district while working on an electric pole.
Amar Das, who is from the Chaygaon neighbourhood of Gobardhan, has been named as the deceased.
