One man died and two others were critically injured after being electrocuted during centring work near Guru Govardhan Lodge in Mantralayam, Kurnool district, according to a report by Deccan Chronicle.
The incident occurred while the three men were carrying out construction-related work at the site. The electric shock was severe, and one of the workers died on the spot. The other two sustained serious injuries and were shifted to the government hospital in Yemmiganur for treatment.
The report identified the activity as centring work, a construction process that typically involves preparing temporary support and formwork for concrete work. However, the supplied report did not specify how the workers came into contact with electricity, whether overhead or other electrical infrastructure was involved, or whether the worksite had been inspected before the incident.
The location was identified as being near Guru Govardhan Lodge in Mantralayam. The incident places attention on the risks faced by workers at active construction sites, where temporary structures, equipment and electrical networks can operate in close proximity. The available report did not provide details about the identities of the deceased or injured workers, the contractor responsible for the work, or the ownership of the site.
The two injured workers were taken to the government hospital in Yemmiganur after the incident. Their condition was described as critical in the report. No further medical update was provided in the supplied material.
The report also did not include details of any police case, inquiry, safety inspection or response from electricity authorities, local administration or the construction site operator. It therefore does not establish the immediate cause of the electrocution or whether any safety violation was identified.
Construction work involving temporary centring systems requires workers to operate around structural materials and site equipment, making the management of electrical hazards an important part of site safety. In this case, the available information confirms the fatality and injuries but does not establish the chain of events that led to the electric shock.
Further details are expected from the authorities or hospital regarding the condition of the two injured workers and from any investigation into the incident at the Mantralayam worksite.
