After the incident, locals protested against Faisalabad Electricity Supply Company authorities and said that complaints of short-circuiting from the electricity pole were lodged a number of times at local sub-divisional office but none paid heed to the issue.


They demanded action against the officials concerned as a precious life was lost due to the negligence of the FESCO officials.
