SRINAGAR: A 40-year-old National Health Mission (NHM) employee was electrocuted to death while hoisting the national flag in Kathua, news agency GNS quoted sources as having said.
Identifying the deceased as Pawan Kumar, they said that the individual received a strong electric jolt at Hiranagar in Hariya Chak area.
We are extremely sad over the unfortunate demise of NHM Pharmacist Pawan Kumar during flag hoisiting. Hon'ble LG led UT administration has approved NHM employees welfare scheme, which was sanctioned last year only, for ex-gratia of Rs 10 lakh per case. https://t.co/7JQe7tkPFp
