Imphal, July 28, 2012:
Police have rescued a lineman of Noney power sub-station from the jaws of death.
Lineman Sana (50) of Poupanlung of Sangaiprou, Imphal West was lying unconscious after he got electric shock while attempting to connect to a livewire.
By providence, Noney PS OC Keishing and 2nd OG Namdingpou Kamei came to the spot in time and managed to rescue Sana.
Both the legs and hands of Sana were burnt severely because of the electric shock.
His head also sustained injuries as he fell down.
After initial treatment at the nearby PHC, Noney police have handed over Sana to his family members.
Incidentally, the power sub-station should have seven regular staff but it was only Sana who was present there, said a police source.
