Dibrugarh, July 1: A Physical Trainer (PT) teacher of Sampoorna Kendriya Vidyalaya died due to electrocution after coming in contact with a live wire of a generator in Dibrugarh on Sunday morning.
The deceased has been identified as Pawan Gare, 29, a resident of Majuli.
According to sources, the teacher was also a boys’ hostel warden and he went to start the power generator after power cut due to waterlogging in the hostel area.
He was taken to hospital but doctor declared him brought dead.
Meanwhile, the water level of Brahmaputra River crossed the danger level in Dibrugarh with 105.78 meters on Sunday morning. The level is expected to rise further, posing significant risks to low-lying areas.
For the fourth consecutive day, Dibrugarh reeled under water due to flash floods and the roads were waterlogged. The residents are having a harrowing time.
The Dibrugarh Municipal Corporation (DMC) has failed miserably to clear the clogged drains. All the 22-wards under Dibrugarh Municipal Corporation (DMC) are under water.
Meanwhile, the Dibrugarh district administration has used five high-level pumps to flush out the rain water from the town.
The severity of the situation is worsened by the poorly designed and unscientific construction of the city’s drainage systems.
Residents attribute the artificial flooding to inadequate drainage planning, which has turned streets into waterways. “Flash flood and waterlogging was a perennial problem in Dibrugarh but the district administration has failed to solve the problem. We are facing the problem since decades but the district administration could not find out a solution,” said a senior resident of the town.
