Kashmir Power Distribution Corporation Limited (KPDCL) has ordered a probe regarding death of a worker due to electric shock.

In a statement, the corporation condoled the death of a youth who got an electric shock on December 14 in Kursoo Rajbagh and later died at a nearby hospital.

He was engaged by M/s Gopikrishna Infrastructure Pvt Ltd, the turnkey contractor (TKC) of Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS).

“Meanwhile, a high-level committee has been constituted by Chief Engineer (Distribution-KPDCL) to investigate the events which led to this accident,” an official said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
