The tragedy in Mirpur is a heartbreaking reminder of the pressing need to address this issue urgently.

Three members of a family, including a seven-year-old girl, died from electrocution as they came in contact apparently with an electrified wire in Rangpur city yesterday, police said.

A Texas teenager is killed after she grasps a plugged-in cell phone while taking a bath, prompting her family to spread word of the incident to prevent another electrocution death.
