16 died, three people of the same family lost their lives, there was chaos

After the STP accident in Chamoli town, mourning has spread in Harmani village of Chamoli district. Out of the 16 people who lost their lives due to electrocution, nine are from Harmani village alone. Apart from this, three people of the village have also been injured. Among the dead, three persons belong to the same family and this unfortunate family is that of Ganesh Lal, who was a watchman at STP. Ganesh had died in the night itself due to electrocution and on getting the information, when father Mahendra Lal and elder brother Suresh alias Deepu Kumar reached the spot in the morning, they too died due to electrocution. Since then Ganesh’s mother and younger brother Mahesh Lal are unconscious. Neither say anything nor do they have tears in their eyes. It appears as if staring at the sky.

Wednesday was unfortunate for Harmani village

Wednesday was an unfortunate day for Harmani village, located seven km from Chamoli town. The residents of the village would not have even guessed in the morning that death is already waiting for them at the STP where they are turning to get justice for the family of Ganesh Lal, who died due to electrocution. The villagers who reached STP along with Ganesh Lal’s father and brother were demanding to fill the Panchnama only after giving compensation to the relatives of the deceased.

Meanwhile, suddenly the current ran in the entire STP premises and in no time, Ganesh Lal’s father and brother along with six other villagers died on the spot. Whereas, three were badly burnt. Now there is no one left in Ganesh Lal’s family except the old mother and the middle brother. His father Mahendra Lal was a mason, while elder brother Suresh worked in a local showroom. Mahesh is unemployed. In other families of the village whose people were killed in the accident, in those houses too, the relatives are in bad condition by crying.

Leader of the opposition expressed condolences on the accident Haldwani

Leader of Opposition Yashpal Arya has expressed condolences on the current accident in Chamoli district on Wednesday. Said that the number of injured is more. The state government should provide better medical treatment. Apart from this, the accident site is near the Alaknanda river. Therefore, a search operation should be carried out in the river area as well. Leader of Opposition Yashpal Arya said that in the past a watchman had died due to electrocution. Had the department and administration been alert in time, such a huge human loss would not have happened.
