In a tragic incident, two workers from Jharkhand were electrocuted while arranging High-Tension cables atop a tower for a 220 KV sub-station at Racharla village of Varadaiahpalem mandal on Friday.
Several workers from Jharkand State were on the job of pulling the unwired HT cables, when one of them came in contact with an 11-KV line beneath the tower, resulting in electrocution of two workers, identified as Marandi (32) and Bhuvaneshwar (37).

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
