There was no other earning member in his family, he said. He said Makhan had gone to someone’s field to cut fodder for animals two days ago. While he was cutting fodder, an electricity wire snapped due to strong wind and fell in the field. Makhan’s foot came in contact with the live wire and he got electrocuted.
Villagers have demanded that the state government should provide adequate financial help to the victim’s family.
