People belonging to the Kanjar community protested against the Rajasthan State Electricity Board and demanded action against their employees. MLA Harimohan Sharma visited the Bundi district hospital and also demanded action against employees of Rajasthan State Electricity Board. He also asked the Rajasthan government to announce compensation for the kin of the deceased.
Mahesh Varma, a kin of the deceased, alleged that despite approaching the local electricity board office to repair the electric lines, they failed to do it and hence they should be held responsible for the deaths.
Meanwhile, a five-year-old child died after he came in contact with an electric current in Anupgarh. The incident took place in Ward Number 6 and the child's mother was at home. "The child came in contact while he was playing while the mother was cooking in the kitchen.
