Anushka Nandi (12) of Bandhabnagar in Motijhil, Dumdum in North Kolkata died a pathetic death on Wednesday, 2021-09-22 after electrocution in a flooded road.
She was on her way to a tuition class with friend Sneha Banik (12) who also lost her life in the same mishap. Both were students of Class 6 in a local school.
Both lost their balance because of waves created by some passing vehicle. To regain balance they had touched a trident lamppost with live wires hanging out of it (as is frequently seen all across Kolkata) and instantly got electrocuted. Both friends got electrocuted.
Thousands of such trident lampposts were erected on footpaths on the inspiration of Mamata Banerjee immediately after she took over as CM in May 2011. Almost all are dysfunctional or are live death traps.
