Baglung, May 20 (RSS): Two women were electrocuted in Kathekhola Rural Municipality-6, Bihunkot in Baglung district on Saturday.
Guma Kandel, 25, and Nisha Kandel, 20, died when they were electrocuted on their way to home from the nearby forest after collecting fodder, Deputy Superintendent of Police of Baglung Bishwaraj Singh Thapa said.
The two caught live current from a pole of high-voltage transmission line. They had reportedly gone to collect fodder early morning but were found dead in a search by their family members as they did not return home till late.
The local residents have prevented the police personnel to collect the dead bodies saying that the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA)’s carelessness took the lives of the women. They have sought rightful compensation from the NEA after taking responsibility of the incident.
