Kalahandi: In a tragic incident, a young farmer of  Kutru Chhak under Kalampur block in Odisha’s Kalahandi district was electrocuted to death after he accidentally came in contact with a 33 KV wire while working on his farmland on Monday.

The deceased was identified as 22-year-old Shyama Sundar.

According to sources, a part of the wire that stretched across to the nearby school had fallen on the farmland. He sustained critical injuries after coming in contact with it.

On getting information, his family members immediately took him to Jayapatana hospital. He, however, died while undergoing treatment.
