13 electrocuted in Bihar

PATNA, JUNE 18. About 13 persons, most of them children, were electrocuted when they came in contact with a high-tension wire at Gopalpur village in this district early today, police said. The Senior Superintendent of Police, Mr. Sunil Kumar, told reporters that the wire had snapped after a truck hit a pole and overturned on Gaya-Patna road near Sampatchak last night.

The Bihar Government today constituted a four-member committee which would submit its report within three days.
