A worker, K. Kaliraj, 27, of Namaskarithanpatti was killed and two others, V. Murugesan, 29, and P. Mutheeswaran, 30, both from of M. Pudupatti, sustained bleeding injuries as a concrete electric pole fell down when they were working to provide overhead cable connection at Tiruthangal on Saturday.
The police said the new concrete pole had broken a few inches above the ground level when Kaliraj and Murugesan were atop it. As both the workers had fastened themselves to the pole with ropes to fix electrical fittings, they could not escape when the pole came crashing down.
Senior BJP leader and former Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Saturday (November 23, 2024) said the landslide victory of the Mahayuti alliance in the Maharashtra Assembly election was historic, and that it reflected people’s mindset across the country. She added that the DMK would be unseated from power in the 2026 Assembly election in Tamil Nadu and that the BJP would be the reason for it.
