Chennai Teen Dies of Electrocution; Locals Blame Negligence

A teenager in Chennai died after being electrocuted while walking on a flooded street.

The water became dangerous because of a damaged underground cable that was leaking electricity.

Locals say they had warned officials about the leak, but nothing was done.

After the boy died, people protested, blocking traffic to demand answers.

The police are now investigating what happened and why the warnings were not heeded.

Heavy rain in the area had caused the streets to flood, making the situation even more dangerous.
