Rongala Janaki, 28, touched a snapped support wire on her verandah at 3.30 a.m., and her mother died trying to save her; her husband was injured
A mother and daughter were electrocuted in Nathavaram, Anakapalli district, Andhra Pradesh, after coming into contact with a live wire that had been loosened by continuous rain. The deceased were identified as Gompa Manga, 55, and Rongala Janaki, 28, while Janaki's husband, Rongala Nagaraju, 32, sustained injuries after attempting to move the wire.
The incident occurred when the insulation tape on the galvanised iron support wire peeled off, causing the live wire to snap and dangle from a rooftop into a verandah. Electricity department officials and the police have urged residents to report damaged service lines and sagging wires during heavy rain to prevent such accidents.
