| The family of Asgar Mohamed has retained an attorney as they seek possible compensation for injuries the 37-year-old man suffered after coming into contact with a severed Guyana Power and Light (GPL) power cable a week ago.A brother of the victim claimed that they were “forced to take this action” because GPL has failed to contact them about the mishap that resulted in Mohamed losing his left arm. The limb was amputated last Saturday and Mohamed remains hospitalised.Kaieteur News understands that the family’s attorney has since spoken with an official from the power company. Mohamed’s relatives are contending that he could have escaped injury had GPL secured the Stabroek area immediately after the wire snapped.GPL stated that Police and Fire Service had responded immediately and cordoned off the area and that a male civilian (Mohamed) “forcefully breached the cordon and came into contact with the live wire, which resulted in his electrocution.”At the time, GPL was unaware that the man had survived. Some eyewitnesses claimed that a GPL crew arrived before the handyman was injured, but did not immediately cordon off the scene or attempt to repair the damaged wire.However, one woman stated that several people continued to walk in close proximity to the wire, despite appeals by the police that were present.The GPL release had stated that a truck came into contact with an overhead guy wire, causing it to snap and fall to the ground. The release said that a section of the wire came into contact with a 13.8 KV feeder, and this caused the guy wire to become energized.A GPL official had told Kaieteur News that the driver of the truck left the scene immediately after the mishap.A woman who operates one of the Digicel and GT&T booths near Demico House said that Mohamed, who performed odd jobs in the Stabroek area, was attempting to remove the wire from a vehicle when “the current hit him”. However,China Adidas Hockey Jerseys, other eyewitnesses said that Mohamed, known as ‘Jesus’, was attempting to pick up the wire from the ground when he sustained the severe injuries. |
