A tragic incident occurred outside the Awshaneshwar Mahadev temple in Barabanki district, Uttar Pradesh, where two devotees were electrocuted, and several others sustained injuries. The incident took place on July 28, 2025.

The devotees were near the Awshaneshwar Mahadev temple, a site of local religious significance when the electrocution occurred. Initial reports indicate that the electrocution was caused by a fault in the electrical wiring near the temple premises. The exact sequence of events is still under investigation, but it appears that a live wire came into contact with a metal structure, leading to the deadly incident.

Local authorities and police responded quickly to the scene, and the injured were immediately rushed to nearby hospitals. Unfortunately, two individuals were declared dead on arrival. The identities of the deceased have been confirmed, and their families have been notified.

The Awshaneshwar Mahadev temple is a revered place of worship in the Barabanki district. The temple attracts a large number of devotees, especially during festivals and auspicious days. The local community is in mourning following the tragic event.

An investigation has been launched to determine the precise cause of the electrical fault and to assess whether there was any negligence involved in the maintenance of electrical installations around the temple. Authorities have assured that a thorough inquiry will be conducted, and those responsible will be held accountable.

In the aftermath of the incident, safety measures around the temple are being reviewed. Electrical safety audits will be carried out in and around the temple to prevent any recurrence of such incidents. Additionally, awareness campaigns are being planned to educate the public about electrical safety, especially in crowded places and religious sites.

The Uttar Pradesh government has announced compensation for the families of the deceased and has assured the best possible medical care for those injured. Local political leaders have visited the site to express their condolences and support for the affected families.

This unfortunate incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of maintaining safety standards, especially in public places and religious venues that attract large gatherings. It also highlights the need for regular inspections and timely repairs of electrical infrastructure to prevent such tragedies from happening in the future.
