A tragic accident occurred in Madhya Pradesh involving a tractor procession carrying a Durga idol. According to reports, the vehicle was traveling along a route where a high-voltage power line was hanging low. In an attempt to clear a path for the tractor, individuals on the ground used a stick to lift the wire. This action caused the wire to come into direct contact with the high-tension line, resulting in a fatal electrical discharge that killed two people.

While the incident highlights the dangers of infrastructure maintenance and public safety during festival processions, the specific details regarding the identity of the victims and the exact location of the event remain limited in current reporting. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the risks associated with moving large structures under low-hanging utility lines. Authorities have not yet released a formal statement regarding potential negligence or safety violations concerning the height of the power lines in the area.
