KHUZDAR: Two workers were electrocuted and four suffered severe burns in the Wadh city of Khuzdar district on Tuesday.

Levies officials said the two labourers who were electrocuted had accidentally touched a high-tension wire while working at a Wapda grid station. They were identified as Habibullah and Naseebullah.

The injured labourers — Muhammad Ibrahim, Zarar Khan, Rozi Khan and Muhammad Ishaq — were immediately shifted to the Khuzdar district hospital and later moved to a specialist burns unit at the Bolan Medical Complex Hospital, Quetta.
