Imphal, June 05 2009:
Euphoria over the celebration of Loktak Water Festival organised as part of the World Environment Day observance at Regional Water Sports Complex of Sendra today was dampened when a 25-year old youth suffered electric shock after coming into contact with a High Tension Power line.
The unfortunate incident occurred at around 1.15 pm today.
25-year old Roshan of Moirang Uksangbam was coming along with his boat to take part in the race organised as part of the festival.
After taking down the boat from a Tata Tipper, he was trying to put it in the water when it came in contact with the High Tension Power line running overhead.
Roshan was immediately rushed to Moirang CHC for treatment where the doctors said he is out of danger.
