Teenager hits an 11,000-volt line while cutting a neem branch at Kiraon, November 2026
On Thursday morning, 12 November 2026, a 17-year-old boy cutting a branch of a neem tree at Kiraon village in the Mauaima area came into contact with an 11,000-volt overhead line, according to two news reports. He was taken to a hospital in Prayagraj and died during treatment on Friday morning. Villagers say the line passes through a crowded part of the village and they had asked the power department to move it. Those are the villagers' statements, not findings. We cover it in a case study.
