A ten-year-old boy, who suffered severe electrical shock injuries after he contacted a low-lying HT wire at Chuarchandpur's Muallum village on Sunday, is undergoing treatment at Rims hospital here.
The incident has prompted the villagers to demand the authorities concerned to compensate the boy adequately and correct the wire alignments, said Grace Zammu, Muallum ADC member.
Victim Mangliankhup son of Lienpauzou of Maullam village under Singhat sub-division inflicted the severe shock after he accidentally contacted the wire while playing at the complex of a government school.
He sustained burn injuries on many parts of his body.

"As a result of the low lying HT wire, construction of this school has also been stopped.
We have repeatedly urged the concerned authorities to either replace the short poles with tall ones or to shift the poles to safety areas but to no avail," lamented the lady ADC member.
Earlier a boy also suffered severe electric shock while he was plucking mangos around the same area, she said adding that the matter has already been brought to the notice of the local MLA GS Haopu.
Though the power officials gave a meagre amount for Mangliankhum's treatment on Sunday, adequate compensation should be given in view of his loss of academic career and his pangs and worrisome he is experiencing , Grace said adding that she has been taking care of the injured boy at Rims hospital.
On Monday, Churachanpur ADC chairman Langkhanpao Guite visited the boy and gave Rs 2500 as monetary aid for medical expenses, she said.
